Summary
"The charred body of a native american in the ashes of Haversham Golf Club, Westerly's swank new country club, is the impetus for a mystery far removed from Carter University's latest skirmish with Providence's mendacious Mayor Sonny Russo. But in Rhode Island, anything can get connected. When persuaded to aid the hapless Club Secretary accused of negligence and self dealing in the aftermath of the fire, Algy Temple finds himself confronting his family's involvement in the harsh reality of Rhode Island's colonial wars, today's tribal politics and casino gaming, and a case of megalomaniac victimization. And in the hunt for a murderer. From Providence's East Side to elegant Watch Hill, the grim reality of South County's Indian Swamp, and the glories of Northern Italy, Algy's investigative urge duels with his sense of justice, as his deft pool skills are called upon to face opponents who hold the keys to unraveling the mystery. In the company of his lover, the beautiful and opinionated psychologist Nadie Winokur, Algy Temple's greatest challenges are before him"--Publisher's website
