| Summary | "The Golf Course Mystery" by Chester K. Steele is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book opens with a serene day at the Maraposa Golf Club, setting the stage for a sudden turn of events as a champion golfer, Horace Carwell, collapses and dies after securing a victory. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that there are underlying tensions and financial troubles surrounding the deceased, leading to speculations about the nature of his demise. The beginning of the book introduces readers to a cast of characters, including Captain Gerry Poland and Harry Bartlett, who engage in light banter while inadvertently juxtaposing themes of life and death as they race to the clubhouse. Amidst the picturesque landscape, the tranquil atmosphere is shattered when Carwell's seemingly healthy stature gives way to a fatal collapse, sparking rumors and investigations into whether his death was due to an accident, heart disease, or complications stemming from suspected suicide. As Viola Carwell, his daughter, grapples with the tragic outcome, the narrative sets the groundwork for a deeper exploration of family secrets and mysteries that demand resolution.
