Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755) is perceived as a two-bit hick
town, filled with one-bit hicks. But the mayor’s wife, Mrs.
Jim Bob Buchanon, seeks to change that perception with her
latest scheme: a charity golf tournament! Which presents a
bit of a challenge, since no one in Maggody plays golf and
there is no course. But when the prize for the first
hole-in-one is announced—a top-of-the-line bass
boat—suddenly Maggody goes golf crazy…with limited success
and maximum domestic disorder.
Besides the townspeople, there are several outside figures
who actually know how to play the game. Among them: The
low-level PGA player Bonaparte Buchanon and Tommy Ridner, an
instructor from a nearby country club. As for Sheriff Arly
Hanks? She has more important things to worry about on, and
off, the job—and just wishes all this golf business would go
away.
When Tommy Ridner beats the odds and sinks the first
hole-in-one, it looks like what’s done is done...until he’s
found in his bass boat—dead. Now Arly Hanks is facing a
complicated murder investigation for which darned near
everyone in town is a suspect.
