Bobby Jones is playing golf…terribly. As his ball disappears over the edge of a cliff, he hears a cry. The ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds a dying man. With his final breath the man opens his eyes and says, ‘Why didn’t they ask Evans?’

Bobby and his adventure ─ seeking companion Frankie set out to solve the mystery of the dying man’s last words only to find their own lives in terrible danger…
