    • What Dick Francis does for horse racing, John R. Now, with Snap Hook, the first book in the new Hardscrabble Crime series, Corrigan takes Austin deeper into the world of pro golf. Veteran PGA Tour player Jack Austin has enough to worry about with a balky putter and a rookie caddie-a disadvantaged teen who, like Austin himself, suffers from dyslexia.

    Winless in ten seasons on the Tour, Austin's putting woes and ensuing poor scores could now cost him his eligibility. When an infant is kidnapped, however, Austin goes after his friend's baby. Soon he comes face to face with Nikoli Silcandrov, a renegade Russian mobster who needs to launder a great deal of money.

    In this very real and believeable book, he has been shown some of the underside of golf. The purpose in doing so is to ensure the success of the mission, but it is in fact one of the things that leads to the whole plots unraveling. Jack Austen is a PGA professional who has yet to win a tournament, but who nevertheless has enjoyed success on the tour. He has a comfortable living arrangement with one of the star reporters for CBS on the tour, he has taken on a "summer project" as his caddy, a dyslexic black teenager Austen is also dyslexic and understands the disease and while pursuing his favorite occupation, both arrangements get very complicated.

    This is really a human interest story which uses the PGA Tour as it's backdrop and does so in an interesting and convincing fashion. Phil Mickelson even makes an appearance and continues his winning ways. I liked this book even more than his first one, The characters remain in character throughout the book, the plot is interesting and the resolution is in doubt for some time. A first rate effort and a compelling read. That Jack Austin has managed to have a career that has now lasted several years on the PGA Tour is in itself remarkable given the outside distractions he has had to endure.

    However, Corrigan makes it all plausable. A note on the book jacket compares the author favorably to Robert B. Parker and Dick Francis. He is a much better writer than Parker, but as I have thought about it, the allusion to Francis works for me. John Corrigan's books about Jack Austin are as much about golf as Francis's were about horse racing. They both have interesting characters, pay attention to the details of the sport that they use for a background and spin stories that keep you turning the pages. I see no point in outlining the plot.

Some golf fiction books have very little golf weaved into the story or has too much golf and a thin story line. Bad Lie is the perfect balance of golf and story line. This book has me hungry to read more from the Jack Austin series. One person found this helpful. I enjoy golf associated books.

    But this series casts the golf pro as a cross between Rambo, Houdini and Sherlock Holmes. In two books he has escaped kidnapping by Mafia types twice, killed five bad guys and played tournament golf well without sleep and injured. Enough is too much! My first experience with Corrigan's work, will not be my last. If you enjoy golf and like mysteries, this is for you.

    Not a bad read, but not a great one, either. Didn't make me want to read the other Jack Austin books. The author needs a good proofreader. Great read, kept you interested in golf and the mystery that was being unfolded.
