A special gift for Reginald Hill fans – the return of Joe Sixsmith in a beautifully packaged, witty new crime novel
A sweltering summer spells bad news for the private detective business. Thieves and philanderers take the month off and the only swingers in town are those on the 19th hole of the Royal Hoo Golf Course. But now the reputation of the ‘Hoo’ is in jeopardy.

Before long, though, Joe’s on the trail of a conspiracy that starts with missing balls, and ends with murder...
