PGA Tour pro Jack Austin promised former caddy and surrogate son Nash Henley he would help him find his biological father. But before Nash and his father are ever reunited, Owen Henley is murdered - and Nash's dream of knowing his real father dies with him. Now Nash wants to know who his father was and why he was killed. And Jack intends to keep his promise. In "Bad Lie", readers see why "Mystery Scene" calls Austin "the perfect narrator, observant but not omnipotent, confident, but painfully aware of his flaws." Jack is coming off his first PGA Tour victory and striving to reach golf's top echelon. But Nash's request leads Jack on a tour of Owen Henley's past and into an international smuggling scheme. Plot twists abound in "Bad Lie". Readers follow Austin from the fairways of the PGA Tour to a foursome on a wooded golf course in northern Maine. There, the stakes exceed any purse played for on tour, and with a single gunshot, the "Jack Austin" series changes forever.
