Retired on a Mexican beach, Jack Spence's only worry is his putting. Then, back home in Cypress Point, his Uncle Stuart is brutally attacked and robbed, and the police haven't a clue who done it. Outraged, Jack flies north and with help from friends sets a trap for the thieves baited with buried treasure. But what Jack sees as a direct path to revenge makes several near fatal detours. Charging headlong down it anyway, the former Stanford tight end then golf magazine publisher finds himself stalking bad guys during The Crosby and pitted against some very strange characters indeed; among them, a cross-dressing ex-cop from Manila, a Korean billionaire, a besotted Southern golf pro, a pot-fueled caddy, a cute surfer chick and her felonious boyfriend, a hulking gimp biker, and a deadly Asian con-man. He even runs into his great-great grandfather and his friend, Robert Louis Stevenson. But no 19th century novelist could have plotted all the twists this path takes, or where Jack winds up at its end.

But then a wealthy couple hires him to prove the death was murder and catch the killer. In desperate need of cash, Davis takes the job. While Davis investigates who had the motive to kill Prentiss, Elizabeth Harper, an accountant who stirs butterflies in Davis’s stomach, uncovers a tangled mess of shady real estate deals linked to Prentiss’s firm.

On January 20, 2003, at 10:45 a.m., a massive avalanche in the Selkirk Range of British Columbia struck three members of two guided backcountry skiing groups and buried them. After a frantic hour of digging by those still standing, an unthinkable outcome became reality: seven people were dead. The tragedy made international news, splashing photos of the seven dead Canadian and US skiers on television screens and newspaper pages. The official analysis was that guide error was not a contributing factor in the accident. This interpretation was insufficient for some of the victims’ families, the public and some members of the guiding community. Buried is the assistant guide’s story. It renders an answerable truth about what happened by delving deep into the human factors that played into putting people in harm’s way as well as the peace that comes from accountability and the personal growth that results from understanding.
