(Edgar Award Winner) Different Cover~ (newer?)
The boy was born and raised on the Main Line, but he vanished on Philadelphia's mean streets - last seen in a downtown cheater's hotel. The boy's mother, Linda Coldren, is a golf superstar...and Myron Bolitar's client. When he goes after the missing boy, presumed kidnapped, he crashes through a crowd of lowlifes, blue bloods, and liars on both sides of the social divide. Meanwhile, Linda's husband is trying to stage a comeback at the U.S. Open, only to be found dead in a sand trap. Suddenly the family's skeletons are coming out of the closet and Myron is about to find out how deadly golf can get.
"Another winner...pungent observations, indelibly drawn characters and a twisting, surprise-laden plot
