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

He’d already packed whatever was left of Hunter’s clothes in Dimas’ suite.


A gentle opening of hotel room door and a moment later, Hunter was in the room.


“Hotel security said the police hadn’t released the room yet, so I can’t get any of my personal belongings or remove anything. I’m not sure if they’re finished. I saw black powder in Carl’s room. I was able to look and see what they’ve done but just for a few seconds. They asked where Carl’s golf clubs were because they weren’t with the hotel, and I told them I wasn’t sure.”


“Why would they want to know that?”


“I have no idea. I left them with the bell captain after the tournament. I can’t believe they’re missing.”


“Maybe Carl took them before he—”


“I haven’t checked the house to see if he went back. With all the construction and renovation, I’d be surprised.”


Dimas scratched his head. “Why would Carl renovate the place if he was heavily in debt?”
