POLO IS THE SPORT OF KINGS. ONE OF ITS KINGS HAS BEEN MURDERED, AND THE SUSPECTS ARE DYING.
The San Francisco Corporate Cup was more than a polo match. It was a fight for testosterone-fueled bragging rights and corporate prestige. Contestants would do anything to win including bending the rules. But would they kill?
That is the question on everyone's mind after a womanizing, controversial polo player is murdered shortly after the match. The murderer could have been a rival polo player, but it also could have been a jealous husband or a bitter business rival. It could even have been a jilted lover seeking revenge. The police detective in charge of the case, a cop with a penchant for ugly polyester suits, suspects a wealthy businessman. The businessman turns to the dashing Lovable Rogue for help. That's not unusual. San Francisco's Upper Crust frequently call on him when they find themselves in trouble. The crime takes the Lovable Rogue south of San Francisco to a wealthy suburb full of horses and asses. This time he uncovers secrets that put him in danger and the body count rises as the case reaches its shocking conclusion. The Polo Mallet Murders is the second in this series of witty and cozy mysteries featuring the world's most stylish detective.If you like your mystery cocktails shaken with the sharp similes of Raymond Chandler and stirred with the sly wit of P. G. Wodehouse, you'll love The Polo Mallet Murders.

Solving murders with sartorial style and sparkling wit, Winston Churchill (no relation) certainly lives up to his nickname of The Lovable Rogue. A must-read for any fan of lighthearted murder mysteries.
