PUBNAME: St. Martin's Press PUBCONTACT: Karen Tese PUBVOICEPHONE: 212-674-5151 PUBEMAIL: [email protected] PUBADDR: 175 Fifth Avenue PUBCITY: New York PUBSTATE: New York PUBPOSTAL: 10010-7848 PUBNATION: USAISBN: 1590710061 TITLE: Scratch AUTHOR: McAllister, Troon DESCRIPTION: Golf fiction's most beloved hustler, The Green's Eddie Caminetti, returns from self-imposed exile to turn the PGA Tour and the golf equipment industry on its ear.When Eddie's former caddie, "Fat Albert" Auberlain (a cross between Tiger Woods and John Daly), loses his PGA Tour card, his endorsements, and his composure after posting a twelve on a par three at the Fruit-of-the-Loom Waste Management Open, Eddie finds the sad sack on his doorstep. Fat Albert, in debt up to his eyeballs and with several needy relatives to feed, had barely been eking out a living on Tour as it was, and the pressure was threatening to make him implode altogether. Eddie takes pity on his protg but isn't quite sure what he can do, when along comes nuclear physicist Norman Standish with the most revolutionary advance in golf equipment since the double niblick-a golf ball they call Scratch. If Standish's claims are true, Eddie could make the killing of his strange and wonderful life and just possibly change the game forever.With McAllister's patented golf hustling hijinks, roller-coaster plotting, and laugh-out-loud skewering of pro sports hypocrisy, Eddie's die-hard fans and golf fiction aficionados will laugh all the way to the putting green. As Eddie himself puts it in The Foursome, "Why do you think they call the devil SCRATCH?" AUTHORBIO: Troon McAllister, a pseudonym of the thriller writer Lee Gruenfeld, is the author of two previous Eddie Caminetti adventures, The Green (soon to be a major motion picture from Crusader Entertainment and Paramount Pictures) and The Foursome, as well as the baseball novel The Kid Who Batted 1.000. He lives somewhere in southern California and his handicap is still considered a federal disaster area. ENDISBN: 1590710088 TITLE: All the Beautiful Sinners AUTHOR: Jones, Stephen Graham DESCRIPTION: Nazareth, TexasMarch, snow still dusting the road, Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Doe is called in to back up a dangle-law pullover. The driver has an eagle feather hanging from his rearview. The Sheriff radios Doe to know if he'd rather do the search as the guy's a longhair (Indian). Doe declines. Soon afterward, Doe hears shots over the two-way. The Sheriff's dead, the longhair's gone. Photos from the Sheriff's cruiser show two decaying corpses in the getaway's trunk.All the Beautiful Sinners is Doe's story-his relentless investigative Texas road trip tailing a killer while reluctantly unearthing the truth of his own identity. The Tin Man, a complex and brilliantly realized sociopath, needs just one more victim to complete his bloody Grand Guignol. His signature is the abduction of pairs of children during tornados--the chilling real-life personification of a little-known Indian myth. The victims' parents swearing that the tornados take human form, spiriting away their children. Always Indian children--one brother, one sister. Numbingly patient, the Tin Man has expertly toyed with the FBI's "profilers" and "crime scene investigators" over his fifteen-year abduction spree. But now he's begun to murder the maturing young men and women in his care. For some reason, he's heating up the cold cases and drawing the enemy authorities closer. With the visceral chill of the film Se7en, the meticulous investigative puzzle of The Bone Collector, and the realistic and dynamic whydunit examination of Red Dragon, All the Beautiful Sinners launches the commercial career of an unnervingly talented literary voice. AUTHORBIO: Stephen Graham Jones is Blackfeet. His first novel The Fast Red Road: A Plainsong (2000), won the Independent Publishers Award for Multicultural Fiction.
