About this ebook

Professional golfer Roy Gilbert wakes, dazed and defenseless, in the mangrove swamp of the Everglades. Across the bay hangs the wreckage of the small Cessna his friend John piloted on their sightseeing trip that afternoon. Roy has no memory of the crash, and John is nowhere to be found.

Roy does remember the intimidating chopper pilot he and John encountered at the airport prior to their flight. When that same helicopter appears over the wreckage, Roy hides in the trees. Thus begins a three-day chase through the Everglades.

With the help of research biologist Crystal McNair, the head of security for the tour, and Special Agent Brockman of the FBI, Roy identifies a list of dangerous, drug-related suspects in John’s disappearance. Balancing his search for answers with his commitments to tournament golf, Roy narrowly escapes further attempts on his life as the tour moves from Miami to Orlando.

In the style of Dick Francis, Power Fade brings mystery and suspense to the high-profile world of professional golf.

Keith Gockenbach

Keith Gockenbach grew up in Robinson, Illinois, where he played golf and caddied for Bob Goalby and other pros in the PGA Tour’s Robinson Open. In addition to golf, he became an incessant reader, devouring the works of Alistair McLean, Agatha Christie, Dick Francis and others. As a chemical engineer from Clemson University, he enjoyed a successful career in the chemical industry, receiving his MBA from MIT and rising to the level of Vice-President at Eastman Chemical Company. He then pursued his dream of professional golf on the Champions Tour, twice qualifying for the Champions Tour National Qualifying Tournament. He played in the 2006 U.S. Senior Open at Prairie Dunes and the 2007 British Senior Open at Muirfield. He lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida with his wife Lynn and their two standard poodles, Rose and Dazzle.
