Treachery at Torrey Pines: A Shank MacDuff Mystery

“Shank” MacDuff — a laid-back Newport Beach surfer turned caddy and amateur sleuth — knows the fairways of California better than most. His world shifts dramatically when his friend and fellow caddy, Buddy Franks, dies under suspicious circumstances. The grief-stricken widow enlists MacDuff to uncover what really happened — and before long, he’s caught in a web of secrets, lies, and lethal ambition.

Using his sharp intellect, honed at Caltech, together with training from the FBI Academy, MacDuff sets off on a high-stakes journey across the sun-soaked but murky locales of La Jolla, Las Vegas, and the Del Mar racetrack.
