Six Strokes Under
by Roberta Isleib

Cassandra Burdette used to carry clubs on the PGA tour-now she's swinging them at the Qualifying School for the LPGA Tour. The competition is fierce, but the standout so far is Kaitlin Rupert, whose talent and beauty are eclipsed only by her attitude. Though Kaitlin has a deeply troubled past and a very messy, very public family scandal, any sympathy from other players has been used up by her hostile personality. But it's still a shock when Kaitlin's psychiatrist is found brutally murdered-and even more of a shock when the police look at Cassie as a prime suspect. Now, Cassie must avoid all the hazards as she tries to uncover who delivered the fatal stroke-if the killer doesn't tee her up first.



Roberta Isleib's Bio

Roberta Isleib is a New Jersey born clinical psychologist who's spent half a lifetime in school (Princeton University, University of Tennessee, University of Florida, Yale University.) She was on staff at Yale University Health Services 1987-99, and in private psychotherapy practice 1987-2002.

Roberta was introduced to the game of golf by her husband- to-be in 1991, and hooked not long after. She took up writing articles about golf psychology in order to justify the time spent maintaining a whopping handicap. Next came her series character, Cassandra Burdette, an aspiring professional golfer with a knack for finding trouble and a sports psychologist sidekick to help her sort it out. The first book in the series, SIX STROKES UNDER, was nominated for an Agatha award for best first mystery, and for an Anthony award for best paperback original. A BURIED LIE was released in May, 2003, with three other books in the series to follow.

Writing golf mysteries allows Roberta to combine the things she loves the most-psychology, mysteries, and golf. Her articles have been published in Women's World of Golf, Golf for Women, Tee Time Magazine, and National Golfer. Roberta lives with her family in Madison, Connecticut.
