Skinner's Round

A four-day tournament involving the world's leading golfers is being staged for the opening of a new country club created on his East Lothian estate by the Marquis of Kinture and two partners. But on the Sunday afternoon preceding, one of the partners is found dead in his private Jacuzzi in the clubhousewith his throat cut. On the following day an anonymous letter is received by the local newspaper, containing part of a legendary witches' curse upon anyone who desecrates their place of worship. True, East Lothian was once a notorious center of witchcraft, but DCC Bob Skinner prefers to deal with the here and now. Is this crime in fact a grudge killing by a business rival?
