"A powerful sports mystery"
Professional golfer Alan Saxon is partnering with
highly regarded golf course architect Peter Fullard
designing a course in Bermuda. Alan wants to take his
Oxford College student daughter with him so they can spend
some quality time together. Knowing how his acerbic ex-
wife Rosemary can be, Alan asks her if their adult child
can accompany him though he knows the final decision
resides with Lynette. Rosemary agrees on the condition
that Alan fund Lynette's friend Jessica Hadlow, daughter of
a wealthy international industrialist, to join them on the
trip. However, the island proves no paradise as their taxi
driver threatens Alan, vandalism is wrecking their course
construction, and finally someone abducts Jessica and
Lynette. Unable to sit back while the police double bogey,
Alan begins his own inquiries in an attempt to safely find
his beloved daughter. Keith Miles, whose novels written as Edward Marston and
Conrad Allen, are some of the best aces around, provides
the audience with a powerful sports mystery that flies like
an eagle. The story line is fast-paced, but it is the cast
that makes the tale different as they bring humor to the
plot. After a decade of absence, Alan proves he is no
duffer as he struggles with what he perceives is the
elitist obnoxious behavior of his ex wife and Jessica, who
also tosses in a sand trap of flirting. His rescue efforts
hook the reader, as BERMUDA GRASS is an above par round of
enjoyment. Harriet Klausner
