Center Cut

"Corrigan's game comes together on all levels. The golf action, featuring veteran pro Austin's struggles to win his first tournament, is superb in every way: accurate, dramatic, and above all, realistic. Finally, a golf mystery that golfers will enjoy rather than ridicule."
- Booklist

"Corrigan writes well enough that Jack Austin would be just as interesting if he were a baker or a plumber. The real beauty of the book, though, is how Corrigan makes the world of the PGA seem fascinating to non-linksters. Even those who are bored to tears by golf will enjoy reading this first-rate novel."
- Mystery Scene Magazine

"In Center Cut you not only find yourself pulling for Jack Austin to do well, but you find yourself amazingly wanting to be like him. The book is both fun and accurate and a very fast read."
- Brad Faxon, two-time U.S. Ryder Cup player and seven-time PGA Tour winner

"In Center Cut, John R. Corrigan has done an extremely clever job blending murder and mystery with a PGA tour he describes with authority, both behind-the-scenes and on the greens. Credit him with a hole in one." - Robert S. Levinson, Los Angeles Times best-selling author of The John Lennon Affair "Don't start to read the book in the evening and expect to go to bed at your usual time . . . The golf matches alone offer enough suspense. Center Cut offers a realistic glimpse of the strain, the devotion, the hard work, and the thrills of big-time golf."
- The Milford Cabinet

"Corrigan does a masterful job of making the PGA tour and the mechanics of the sport accessible even to the nongolfer. Too esoteric a book could have left many in the clubhouse rather than out on the course where Corrigan wants them, but he avoids that sand trap. Also, Corrigan is to be commended for not tying up everything neatly. Center Cut is rooted in reality, where there's not too many happy endings. Still, it's a satisfying, gripping read from this up-and-coming author."
- Dale McGarrigle, The Bangor Daily News

"A dramatic yarn destined to draw golfers like an open fairway on a sunny day. While some crime novels may spice up their action with a smattering of links lore and trivia, few can match Center Cut's devotion to the philosophy, practice and love of golf -- and all of that comes in tandem with a protagonist who is flawed, original and very appealing . . . Readers who have shied away from golf mysteries before should take a swing at this one."
- January Magazine

"In his third golf mystery, John R. Corrigan aces the tale with a terrific look at the PGA coupled with an intriguing murder mystery . . . fans of a strong sports mystery, not necessarily golf aficionados, will take the eighteen-hole tour and enjoy every hole . . ."
- The Midwest Book Review
