ABOUT THE BOOK
I caught a glimpse of a figure, bent almost double so as not to be seen, dashing across a stretch of open ground towards the village and darting into a bank of shrubbery. With still no sign of my uncle my anxiety grew. The fairway was deserted. Trees and bushes obscured it from the rest of the course. No place for a man who had enemies.

Shattered by a family tragedy in South Africa Mark Conway returns to England. He hopes for a quiet life in his home county Dorset, but after an unexpected legacy he becomes the owner of a small golf club, and finds he has inherited trouble. He falls under suspicion of murder. When he refuses to sell part of the golf course to two unscrupulous developers they subject him to a vicious campaign of violence and blackmail to force him to change his mind. He faces relentless menaces and threats until they make a last desperate move when he barely escapes with his life – yet is able to expose the true extent of their evil racket.

DEADLY HAZARD is Alec's Wright's second golf thriller – a riveting series of plot twists, a burgeoning romance and a host of memorable characters are packed into this taut and gripping tale.
