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

Hunter patted Dimas’ shoulder. “I know my way around here.” He stepped around Dimas and walked through a small path through the pine trees and saw palmetto. Dew covered the ground. “Is this where it happened?” Hunter pivoted, trying to confirm this is where his stepdad lay.


“No, it was over here.” Dimas pointed. “There’s nothing to see here.” Dimas walked further away. “I don’t see anything.” Dimas brushed his foot over the grass, looking, scanning for anything that appeared out of the ordinary.


“Neither do I. This was a stupid idea,” Hunter sighed. They canvassed the area in silence, covering one end of the pine trees and then another. After several minutes, Hunter spoke. “We should head back. I don’t see anything that would help us. I know he’s dead. But not why?”


“Sorry, babe.” Dimas walked close to Hunter, and patted the top of Hunter’s back. Hunter turned and hugged Dimas.


“Let’s go,” They headed back but then heard voices.
