Duncan Thurly's Golf Chronicle
The Quest
Duncan Thurly is on a quest. Encouraged by his loving wife, Brianna, the former minor league baseball player, has decided to devote the coming year to improving his golf game, to break 80 for the first time in his life. His quest gets a big assist from a new friend, Astrid Bjornsen—pastor, recent immigrant, and scratch golfer. Duncan balances his golf quest with his ‘day jobs’ of art therapist and brewmaster along with his fatherly duties raising twin girls. Duncan is also occupied seeking the owner of an engagement ring, sorting through a series of cryptic phone calls, and replacing a cracked bathroom tile.
However, the biggest mystery of all falls into his lap when his beloved father-in-law, Benedict Brumble, renowned financier with a storied past, goes missing. Duncan teams up with computer genius and new golfing buddy, Weston Covey, to investigate. Along the way, Duncan encounters a myriad of characters, including a perky blonde restaurant manager, a bounty hunter, and an enigmatic man who may or may not have been involved in abducting Ben a decade earlier.
Will Duncan solve the mystery of the missing father-in-law? Will he find the engagement ring’s bride-to-be? And what about those annoying phone calls? Most important of all, will Duncan ever break 80?
