The Boomerang clue : a mystery tale

An exclusive golf course with a corpse in a hole, an aristocratic family with a damning downstairs secret, a brilliant doctor with blood on his hands. Suddenly it seemed that the nicest people were doing the nastiest things to each other and to themselves as death, drugs, and seduction plunged a pair of imperiled lovers ever deeper into the depths of a mystery in which beauty turned beastly and a master murderer exercised a most fatal charm.
