School's out for the summer and math teacher Katie Wilk needs something to occupy her time, something beyond helping to plan Jane Mackey's upcoming wedding. So, when Jane suggests golf lessons and Katie secures a part-time job at the Shady Oaks Country Club to cover the cost of her golfing gear, it seems like a win-win plan. Unfortunately, the club's irascible golf pro seems to make enemies wherever he goes, so when his body turns up near the 14th hole, it's anyone's guess who might have done him in.
Katie doesn't really want another murder to investigate, but Officer Ronnie Christianson is back to his old ways, and it looks like he'll do what it takes to implicate her in the death. And Katie just happens to have seen a potentially incriminating clue, behind a secret garden wall that few know about. Can Katie, Jane, and Ida ask enough questions to find out what really happened before the police come after her?
