Golf. Murder. Love. And it’s all true. In 1974, Janis Froelich and Linda McLain were young homemakers. They took temporary jobs with the 57th PGA Championship in Akron. The outcome of this PGA Championship at the famed Firestone is one people still talk about because of the miraculous 16th hole play by Jack Nicklaus. But little known are the murder and mayhem happening behind the scenes preceding the tournament. Linda is murdered on a freezing February night in 1975. With 40 years experience as a newspaper reporter, Froelich retraces the deadly spiral of her co-worker’s life. She finds an inspiring finish to a violent case still deemed “shocking” by the defense attorney. Based on a St. Petersburg Times article, the book version of Froelich’s early years life story also includes an historical footnote about a young Firestone family in St. Petersburg who suffered their own nightmare.
