Writing is like a good barbecue sauce, if it ain't bold, it ain't worth doing.

On the Take in Waikiki - A Trouble in Paradise Mystery

The new Trouble in Paradise McKenna Mystery, On the Take in Waikiki, is now available!

Honolulu philanthropist Kenji Ito has gone missing. His daughter is worried something has happened to him. So, she asks former skip tracer McKenna and his PI-wannabe sidekick Chance Logan to find her dad.

With McKenna’s wedding to Benni Kapono only a week away, he reluctantly agrees to help. But then, the unthinkable happens. Kenji’s body turns up, the victim of murder.

In addition to the murder, McKenna hears rumors about Kenji’s company. For instance, he was a ruthless businessman. Or the one about payoffs to government officials. And then there’s the gang associations.

Oh yeah, McKenna’s worried. If the rumors are true, he and Chance are in over their heads. And Benni could become a widow before she’s even a bride.
