Jules Challenger was a forgotten man. O for Overseas was beside his name in the club diary for so long and his appearances in the clubhouse so rare members thought of him as permanently abroad, until the day he sailed into a harbour. It had to be Jules’s craft. On the prow was his boat’s famed figurehead, a carving of the club’s ace player, Jules’s ex-wife Flick.
Aghast gasps greeted the sight. The beautiful wooden carving was mutilated to look like the Venus de Milo; her outstretched arms had been hacked off.
When Jules, who has ditched his fourth wife, says he wants Flick back, club members are amazed the feisty lady is tempted to accept. Yet Jules is handsome, rich and charming, whilst Flick’s current partner, a doctor, is being sued for malpractice. Whom should Flick trust? Could Jules have changed? She turns to the club’s resident detective Impey Dalrymple. With her knowledge of animal behaviour, she should be able to fathom Jules’s true instincts. Reluctantly Impey is drawn into the love life of someone she’s not sure whether to befriend, especially when it touches her own life - for the man she loves also seems bewitched by the golf club’s Goddess of Love.
