From the Author
Through mutual disdain, 'The Morris Men' gambled everything they possessed on the outcome of a golf challenge in 1921, to be repeated annually until either conceded, the eventual winner literally 'taking all'. Only they took knowledge of their unresolved feud to their graves. Three generations on, in the sedate Stratford upon Avon offices of Bainbridge and Bainbridge, solicitors, the consequences become all too apparent with the belated disclosure of their oddly bespoke contract. Life was about to dramatically change for two unsuspecting neighbours. The peculiar 'Morris Men Agreement' had resurfaced and a quite different challenge was about to erupt... a matter of survival and enforced rivalry to find and claim the authentic trophy ahead of the other. But can its whereabouts be traced?

Original and hugely entertaining. I'm not in the least bit interested in golf but even so this delightful mystery kept me enthralled throughout. Very Highly Recommended.
