In the 1930s, he was called \"the world's greatest golfer\" by famed sportswriter Grantland Rice. He could drive the ball 300 yards and more, or he could chip it across a room into a highball glass. He played golf with everyone from Howard Hughes and W. C. Fields to Babe Ruth and Bing Crosby. Yet strangely, he never entered a professional tournament or allowed himself to be photographed. Then, a\u003ci\u003e Time\u003c\/i\u003e magazine photographer snapped his picture with a telephoto lens and police quickly recognized Montague as a fugitive with a dark secret. From the glamour of 1930s Hollywood, to John Montague's extraordinary skill and triumphs on the golf course, to the shady world of Adirondack rumrunners and the most controversial, star-studded court trial of its day, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mysterious Montague\u003c\/b\u003e captures a man and an era with extraordinary color, verve, and energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leigh Montville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0767926501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780767926508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/21\/2009 pg. 16","brand":"Leigh Montville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947125997823,"sku":"9780767926508","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_84a23848-8744-448e-99a9-fad9bdd50318.jpg?v=1681516871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mysterious-montague-leigh-montville-9780767926508","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
