I Call the Shots: Straight Talk About the Game of Golf Today Summary:
| "Johnny Miller's brilliant golfing career, which includes winning the U.S. Open and the British Open, has been matched by his success as America's most respected television golf analyst. Known for delivering both criticism and praise in a colorful tone matched by none, Johnny takes on such issues as: o The rise of ""Smackdown Golf"" and the decline of manners in a game that was once a bastion of decorum o The truth about choking, and how to tell when pros are succumbing to pressure o How mega-long ""courses for horses"" are driving everyday hackers-the heart and soul of golf-away from the game o Johnny's ""Fields of Dreams"": the Top-10 courses he's seen and played o The reason PGA players tremble when they see Tiger Woods step on the first tee-and how they're now mustering the courage to take him on o The role of teaching ""gurus,"" and why they sometimes hurt players more than help them o Johnny's analyses of the game's best players, from Nicklaus to Woods to Sorenstam, and why the 1970s was golf's Golden Age Full of quips, anecdotes and ideas that will enrich every reader's appreciation of the game, I Call the Shots promises to be the most talked-about book on the links this year." |

| With Naked Prey, John Sandford proved again that his writing is as fresh and compulsively readable as ever. ""This is vintage Sandford, which is to say all but impossible to put down,"" said The Washington Post. ""Sprawling, suspenseful, tough-minded [and] sheer fun."" Six months ago, Lucas Davenport tackled his first case as a statewide troubleshooter, and he thought that one was plenty strange enough. But that was before the Russian got killed. On the shore of Lake Superior, a man named Vladimir Orslov is found shot dead, three holes in his head and heart, and though nobody knows why, everybody-the local cops, the FBI, and the Russians themselves-has a theory. And when it turns out he had very high government connections, that's when it hits the fan. A Russian cop flies in from Moscow, Davenport flies in from Minneapolis, law enforcement and press types swarm the crime scene-and, in the middle of it all, there is another murder. Is there a relationship between the two? What is the Russian cop hiding from Davenport? Is she-yes, it's a woman-a cop at all? Why was the man shot with . . . fifty-year-old bullets? Before he can find the answers, Davenport will have to follow a trail back to another place, another time, and battle the shadows he discovers there-shadows that turn out to be both very real and very deadly. |
