"It is against the glamorous world of professional golf and the sleazy world of golf hustlers and high-stakes gambling that Crimson Green is set. In his latest Quinn Parker novel of murder, mayhem, and suspense, Bruce Zimmerman opens with a stunning scene of top-notch golf and violent menace at the U.S. Open Championship on America's most famous course, Pebble Beach on California's Pacific Coast. And he ends it several hundred pages later in a wild showdown on the edge of the Palm Springs desert, where Quinn has painstakingly tracked down a double murderer, only to be forced to dig his own grave. Along the way, sometimes accompanied and supported by his old friend Hank Wilkie, a mostly unemployed stand-up comic, Quinn encounters a golfing fanatic devoted to violence, from whom he learns about the art of hustling show-biz and sports biggies out of large sums. He also meets the designer of a revolutionary new golf club, and perhaps best of all, he is blessed by the return of the lovely Kate, the woman he loved and lost in Blood Under the Bridge." "Crackling with vivid descriptions, lively wit, and intriguing characters, Crimson Green shows that Bruce Zimmerman has raised his wizardry as a writer of delightful and suspenseful fiction to yet another level."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
