To earn extra cash, Tom gives golf lessons at a posh country club in Arizona. Tom is attractive, personable, and an excellent golf instructor--particularly popular with the female members of The Club.Lisa Prentiss Luck, whose husband is running for the US Senate, is killed at her home with a golf club stolen from the country club.

He got there an hour too late.The Phoenix PD detective assigned to the case, Ed Mathers, asks for Tom's help, knowing the club members confide in him. Tom finds himself in the middle of a dangerous, hot mess in the hot desert that includes gangsters south of the border, a stone-cold killer in his own back yard and political corruption involving ambitious people who do whatever it takes to win.You'll also meet Roy Wilkinson, the too-powerful retired judge who pulls the business and political strings in the city. The Judge's daughter Julia, an aspiring singer and accomplished femme fatale. Tom's brilliant, funny twin sister Caroline. Det. Mathers, whose obsessions are keeping Phoenix safe and improving his golf game. And Katrina Stern, a serious young golf pro who may be Tom's soul mate if she'd allow herself time for romance.You'll root for Tom and his supporting cast to rise to the challenges of life--growing, learning, overcoming failure, achieving, loving--and for Tom and Det. Mathers to solve the murder. The killer was extremely clever, but Tom Colt and Det. Ed Mathers are clever, too. See how they unravel The Mystery of the Golf Club Murder, their first case.

    Una vacanza in Senegal. E' così che Brian Hill scopre una passione che lo accompagna da anni e che è stata in grado di cambiare radicalmente la sua vita. A volte basta affacciarsi dal finestrino di un furgone per vedere tutta la propria esistenza sotto una luce diversa: ogni situazione difficile, frustrante, si rivela così per ciò che è veramente; è il gioco della vita, del teatro dell'esistenza, che emerge e che vissuto con una giusta dose di ironia, può farci vivere le nostre giornate non più come degli incubi ad occhi aperti ma come delle stupefacenti avventure quotidiane. "Vista dal furgone", romanzo di esordio di Brian Hill, è un racconto che ci fa riscoprire, attraverso i luoghi e i suoi personaggi, il piacere ed il valore della propria quotidianità, senza avere la pretesa di cambiarla ma cambiando solamente il nostro modo di vederla.

    There has always been a tendency to view British politics before the 1832 reform act as though the parties in parliament were clumsy, embryo versions of the later Conservatives and Liberals - their every act interpreted as being either as further striving towards modernity or a relapse into more primitive patterns of behaviour.
