β¦ Synopsis
The first blow took Hugh Parsley by surprise. It fractured his right temporal bone and tore the middle meningeal artery. He stumbled and fell face down on the grass. A blow to the back of his neck cracked the occipital bone at the base of his skull. He was struck several times about the left temporal area. His brain ceased to function. Hugh Parsley was dead.
Murder on the Second Tee is the follow-up to the popular crime fiction novel Murder on Page One.
The directors of the niche Bucephalus Bank are meeting in a St Andrews hotel. One of them is found dead on the golf course. It is Flick Fortuneβs first case as a detective inspector. As she struggles to uncover the murderer behind the bankβs respectable faΓ§ade, she receives unexpected help from Detective Sergeant Bagawath Chandavarkar (Baggo), who is investigating a multi-million pound money laundering scam.
Another murder follows and Flickβs old boss and tormentor, ex-Inspector No, makes an unwelcome intrusion before the truth is revealed...
Ian Simpson is inspired by a number of authors, including PGβWodehouse, John Mortimer and William Boyd. His writing style is comparable to Christopher Brookmyre. Murder on theβSecondβTee is a pacey whodunit, laced with the humour that drew glowing reviews for Ianβs first novel, Murder on Page One.
