Murder on the Fourteenth Tee: Book 3 of Jeremy Pendelton Murder Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798307374429)

Ted Freed, new resident of the area and applicant for membership in the men's only Pheasant Hollow Golf Club in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is shot dead on the fourteenth tee during a complimentary round of golf offered all applicants. Jeremy Pendelton, newly employed reporter for the weekly False River Review, is on the case. He conducts an investigation, disguised as seeking a human interest story so as not to be seen as interfering with the authorities. His investigation takes him to Chicago, Freed's place of employment for many years, where he learns of Freed's troubled past involving gambling debts to casinos and embezzlement. Suspects abound including the president of Freed's employer, Gaming Products, Inc., Eddie Corvacci, a Chicago mobster turned Baton Rouge philanthropist, Freed's own brother, Roger, suspected of being a psychopath, and others. As Jeremy gets deeper into the case the human interest ruse fools no one and Jeremy becomes concerned for his own safety. In the end after several twists and turns, as you might expect, Jeremy solves the case.
