The Golf Course Mystery

by Chester K. Steele

Overview

Harry and Gerry compete for the hand of the comely Viola Carwell. Unfortunately for Harry, his family recently took advantage of Viola's father Horace in a business deal and consequently the money-troubled patriarch is rumored to be cool toward Harry.

Old man Horace dies in the middle of a golf match. The cause of death is poison. Was it suicide due to financial problems? Or was it murder, with heir apparent Harry as the prime suspect?

It's up to super sleuth Detective Colonel Ashley and his servant Shag to solve the case. The Colonel would rather be fishing, but murder has a way of interrupting his reading of Walton's Compleat Angler.

Curl up with this classic British mystery from Chester K. Steele, author of The Mansion of Mystery.

About the Author

Chester K. Steele never existed... he was merely a figment of the publisher's imagination.

Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. After graduating high school, he began writing juvenile fiction and created the pen name "Chester K. Steele," to use for books written by several authors hired by his publishing company, the popular Stratemeyer Syndicate.

The Chester K. Steele mysteries were intended for an older audience than the children's books like the Rover Boys and the Bobbsey Twins series Stratemeyer normally published.

Edward wrote many books and stories for young readers using numerous pseudonyms. In 1891, he married Magdalene Baker Van Camp. They had two daughters.

In 1905, he founded the Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate, for which he once again hired numerous writers whom he supplied with characters, plot outlines, and pseudonyms.

The Mansion of Mystery is the only book he wrote himself. The other books, including the present one, were written by members of his publishing syndicate.

This edited, reformatted classic mystery is published by Magic Lamp Press, who also distribute Gene Grossman's new "Peter Sharp Legal Mystery Series" of 12 modern thrillers, featuring little Suzi, the 12-year old computer genius. They may be seen at www.legalmystery.com
