Overview
"Imagine a wise-cracking Tiger Woods as Sherlock Holmes," says bestselling novelist Tess Gerritsen. "That's the sort of lovable hero John Corrigan has created in this new mystery series." Corrigan once again captures life--and death--on the PGA Tour in his new mystery featuring Jack Austin, native of Maine and professional golfer.After narrowly missing his first tournament win at the conclusion of Snap Hook, Jack has begun a new season in the worst slump of his career. Since he now has a family to support, the slump couldn't come at a worse time. But as Jack battles back to his usual level of play, his friend Grant Ashley faces a more serious problem.
Grant's new wife, the young and beautiful Lynne is also abrasive, unpleasant . . . and missing. Her husband is clearly more concerned than he wants to admit, but he refuses to call the police. Jack and his friend Perkins, security consultant to the Tour, are determined to look for the missing woman, but it is an investigation destined to lead to secrets, betrayals, lies, and ultimately murder.
"Corrigan commands a wealth of technical detail to make Jack's every round vivid and exciting," said Kirkus Reviews of Snap Hook. "Highly recommended for golfers, golf widows and widowers, and everybody who's ever wondered what the fuss is about."
Editorials
From the Publisher
"A great series for sports aficionados."--Library Journal"One of Center Cut's strengths is that it's not necessary to be a golf aficionado to enjoy it. The real beauty of the book, though, is how Corrigan makes the world of the PGA seem fascinating to non-linksters. Even those who are bored to tears by golf will enjoy reading this first-rate novel."--Mystery Scene
"In his third golf mystery, John R. Corrigan aces the tale with a terrific look at the PGA coupled with an intriguing murder mystery. Jack is at his best as he makes mistakes about life, golf, and the who-done-it. His insight into his rivals, their caddies, and lastly their spouses is worth the price of admission. Because the characters are so fully developed especially Jack, fans of a strong sports mystery, not necessarily golf aficianados [sic], will take the eighteen-hole tour and enjoy every hole."--The Midwest Book Review
"Don't start to read the book in the evening and expect to go to bed at your usual time . . . The golf matches alone offer enough suspense . . . Center Cut offers a realistic glimpse of the strain, the devotion, the hard work and the thrills of big-time golf."--Milford Cabinet (NH)--
