    A former skip tracer teams up with a beautiful con artist to find a Honolulu killer.

    McKenna’s newest tenant is hot. She gives great hugs. And, she just saw a dead body being thrown from a plane.

    McKenna’s not one to get involved in other people’s problems. Especially when that other person is a beautiful woman half his age. But, before he knows it, McKenna has volunteered to track down the plane and its owner. In no time, he’s uncovered an island drug ring, pissed off a sociopath, and set himself up as the victim in a con that could cost him his life.

    “…a mystery as refreshing as a visit to the islands themselves.”
    —Deborah Coonts, author of “So Damn Lucky”, the latest in the Lucky O’Toole Vegas Adventure Series

    “This is mystery at its best—humor, adventure and a rip-roaring good tale.”
