Night Lessons - Paperback

Engulfed by a locust storm along a remote Texas highway, two-bit gambler Hank Schwain and his son Rama seek relief at a golf course hidden in an arroyo of Mesquite Creek. A ghostly greens keeper who has lived in the desert since witnessing the deaths of two children on Mesquite's mysterious 16th green, foresees Rama's arrival and returns to settle an impossible score. In a midnight encounter, he discovers that Rama, charmed by the children's spirits, possesses an amazing gift - a magic that elevates the game and the lives of everyone he encounters...with one tragic exception. From that enchanted night, Rama, Hank, and a host of characters are swept into a far greater game than golf. Energized by the Gift, Rama becomes a caddie - a sensation - but as his celebrity grows, Hank, in a greedy rush to profit from Rama's magic, collides with a desperate golf hustler and plunges headlong towards disaster.
