Lee Ofsted and Graham Sheldon, her ex-cop fiance, have decided to take
advantage of the glorious setting of the historic Royal Mauna Kea Golf
and Country Club to have a quiet wedding ceremony. But from the start
things go awry, partly on account of the influx of treasure hunters
determined to find the club's most famous lost possession, the
Cumberland Cup, commissioned from the great Louis Comfort Tiffany in
1908. Then real disaster strikes.
During the Centennial Ball, Hamish Wyndham, the ancient and irascible
chairman of the club's board of directors, is discovered bludgeoned to
death. When the club pro, Wally Crawford, is targeted by the police as
the most likely suspect, Lee is dragged into the maelstrom. And it
doesn't take her long to turn up a host of suspects, motives, and
simmering resentments....
