Fatal Swing, Death on a Par Five

By Lyle Nicholson

When high-tech golf balls turn lethal, Detective Jazmine Ryder must unmask a killer who's turned the game deadly.

Detective Jaz Ryder is chasing a fresh start in the scenic city of Kelowna. But her hopes for a quiet life are shattered when an explosion rocks the prestigious Pheasant Hollow Golf Course--leaving three golfers gruesomely killed: one blown apart in a sand trap, another decapitated at a ball washer, and a third impaled by a crossbow.

Partnered with golf-obsessed Detective Lars Nielsen, Jaz is thrust into a world of manicured greens, hidden agendas, and cutting-edge tech. As the body count rises--including the prime suspect--she must unravel a plot involving a groundbreaking AI-powered golf ball, a high-stakes tournament, and a scheme worth hundreds of millions. But catching the killer could cost her career--and force her to face the past she thought she'd outrun.

From acclaimed author Lyle Nicholson comes a razor-sharp mystery that fuses cutting-edge tech with old-fashioned greed. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen, and Lisa Gardner, Fatal Swing Death on a Par Five delivers a gripping thriller that keeps you guessing to the final stroke.
