About this listen
There is a new golf club development in Marble Falls called La Cava, with an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, and a 300-acre housing project. Brady finds himself in the temporary office—an Airstream trailer—waiting for Patsy Simmons, in charge of all administrative issues. He’s there at the behest of Dr. Buck Owens, his mentor and a representative of an investment group referred to as the Permian Basin boys. They have funneled a great deal of money into La Cava but have been unable to get accurate financial statements from the developer, Louis Devlin. Brady’s job is to try and gain financial information for the Permian boys, even to the point of the consortium buying a membership and paying the dues for Brady and his wife, Mary Louise.
And yet that investigation isn’t the only one Brady finds himself involved in. Earlier in the week, on a Sunday afternoon, while he and Mary Louise were playing a practice round of golf at La Cava, they heard a gunshot in a house under construction, and they discovered a body, who happened to be Louis Devlin’s wife.
Two more women are soon murdered, including Patsy Simmons. At the autopsy, Dr. Jerry Reed, pathologist, discovers that two of the women share a congenital condition known as intersexuality. Susan Beeson, longtime friend of the Bradys and now ASAC of the Austin FBI, becomes involved in the investigation, which reveals that Devlin and his associates have been in prison and have changed their names, and that organized crime figures may have participated in the murders and in the development of La Cava Golf Club.
What are the developers’ plans with the money they’ve raised? What do the three murders have to do with the La Cava Golf Club? What role does the congenital condition in the two women have to do with the project? What is the background story of Devlin and his possible criminal associates? Is the project a matter of just doing business with shady characters, or has it caused an act of aggression?

Story
Doc Brady has made the move to Horseshoe Bay and is enjoying a reduced work schedule that affords him the luxury of working four days a week: two in surgery and two in his clinic. Friday and Saturday are golf days, and Sunday is reserved for whatever Mary Louise, his adored wife, wants to do. On one particular Friday, Brady is in the parking lot of the HEB when he witnesses a vintage Rolls Royce slowly crunch into a parked truck. The driver of the Rolls is slumped in his seat. Brady tells an observer to call 911 while he performs CPR. Even though the EMTs arrive quickly, the gentleman dies ...

Story
Is it medical malpractice, or is the attorney just another ambulance chaser? It’s 1995, and Houston orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jim Bob Brady has been sued for medical malpractice; a mysterious infection caused a knee replacement to end up as an amputation. Donovan Shaw, a ruthless plaintiff’s attorney, has taken the case and doesn’t seem bothered by the fact that he and Brady share a number of friends. “It’s not personal!” Shaw says. But it feels personal—especially when Shaw threatens, “I will do anything, and I mean anything, to win the case, even if I have to destroy you and ...

Story
Dr. Jim Bob Brady, orthopedic surgeon and amateur sleuth, is spending a one-month sabbatical trying to decide whether to remain in his position at University Hospital in Houston, Texas, or move to the Hill Country and work in a more relaxed atmosphere, now that he’s the recipient of a windfall legacy. Scaling back would provide him much more free time to golf and spend time with his wife, Mary Louise, and rest, as his wife so aptly puts it. They are renting a condo on the waters of Lake LBJ while making potentially life-changing decisions. As the sabbatical winds down, Jim Bob comes ...
