ALBATROSS
In my fifth mystery novel, wealthy young idealist Trey Isherwood and FBI Special Agent Sybil Atwater head a new cast of complex characters. The story, set in Grand Marais and Minneapolis with a side trip to Canada, takes place during the summer of 2021 amid the challenges of Covid-19 and highway construction. As Trey and Sybil investigate the still-unsolved, though officially closed, case first portrayed in Dog Leg Left, matters are complicated by their developing professional and personal relationships, ultimately leading them into mortal danger. Mystery, romance, murder, and golf – the cornerstones of a Dave Saari novel – blend together seamlessly in this riveting tale.
DOG LEG LEFTMy fourth mystery novel again features rising-star golfer Samantha Williamson and her more-than-caddy, Terry Hatchett. The story finds Sam and Terry playing golf at Gunflint Hills in Grand Marais, MN, the last place they expected to be in the midst of her rookie LPGA season. A startling discovery in the rough on Gunflint’s par-four, dogleg left seventh hole launches the inseparable duo on another quixotic adventure when Sam is unable to ignore a case the Sheriff considers closed. Investigating on their own, Sam and Terry stumble into a tangled web of smuggling, drugs, and murder, with potentially fatal consequences. The book is set in Grand Marais, Silver Bay, and Baudette, MN, and also features worldwide LPGA tour locales.
LATERAL HAZARDSamantha Williamson is taking a respite from her quest to become a star on the LPGA Tour, with a stint as an Assistant Professional at the Snake River Golf Club. She has the talent and the will to make it on tour, but an unexpected distraction – the handsome Snake River Pro – throws a monkey wrench into the works. Little did she know that her estranged father is the club chairman, or that his beautiful trophy wife would end up dead. When the Sheriff can’t solve her stepmother’s murder, Sam decides to investigate on her own, leading to disastrous consequences. This is a tale of lust, infidelity, blackmail, murder, revenge – and the redemptive power of love.

His clumsy efforts soon entangle him in a web of sex, fraud, and abuse that could end up costing him his life.
