Condition remarks:Book: GoodJacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: GoodOn the sun-drenched fairways where the genteel world of professional golf collides with cold-blooded murder, Deadly Putter delivers a wickedly entertaining crime thriller in which a seemingly routine tournament becomes the backdrop for a sinister conspiracy. Co-authored by England cricket legend Ted Dexter and seasoned sports journalist Clifford Makins, the novel chronicles the unravelling of a deadly plot where golf bags conceal more than just clubs, and a putter becomes the unlikely instrument of intrigue and violence. The story moves with the brisk, knowing energy of two men deeply embedded in the world of professional sport, lending the narrative an authenticity that keeps the tension coiled tight from the first tee to the final hole. Blending the conventions of classic British crime fiction with an insider's affection for the sporting world, Deadly Putter presents a rare and compelling hybrid — part whodunit, part sports novel — that finds menace lurking beneath the manicured surface of competition. Dexter and Makins write with a dry wit and a sharp eye for character, populating their story with figures drawn from the cutthroat world of elite athletics. For readers who relish a mystery seasoned with sporting drama and a distinctly British sense of irony, this novel raises an irresistible question: just how deadly can a gentleman's game become?
