Peruvian-Japanese pro golfer Dimas Kanashiro should have been celebrating his first major golf tournament win. Instead, the suspicious death of his boyfriend’s stepfather places Dimas’ boyfriend, Hunter Mullins, under suspicion.<br><br>Carl Mullins was a lousy stepfather and lousy human being in Dimas’ book, but Hunter always thought differently. So after beating Carl in the most important golf tournament of his life, it’s now up to Dimas to help Hunter find out how his stepfather died and, if murdered, who killed him in order to clear Hunter’s name.

Sudden Death

“My mother’s Canadian, so it was English and Spanish spoken at home, and I listened to my father and grandfather in Japanese.”


“My family’s Scotch-Irish, I suspect some German ancestry,” Carl chimed. “And Hunter will carry on that legacy.”


“I’m partly Scotch-Irish,” June said. “We came to live with Carl when Hunter was around five, and Hunter took Carl’s last name after the adoption papers were signed. I’ve been fortunate, we’ve been fortunate to travel to Ireland and Scotland, and look up our ancestry.”


“You’re on the same team as Hunter?” Carl asked as he passed the turkey platter. “And how is Hunter on the golf team?”


“He’s great. Coach thinks we can make nationals this year.”


Carl nodded. “He needs to work on his long game though. He under swings the shot and doesn’t consistently follow through.” Carl took a long sip of his white wine.


Dimas glanced over to Hunter, who had his head down, silent as he ate.
