Inhaltsangabe

“The Pancho McMartin Legal Thrillers, set in Hawaii, are smart, witty, suspenseful page-turners… highly recommended.” —Robert Westbrook author of the Howard Moon Deer Mysteries

With some $200 million sunk into a real estate development on Kauai, the investment partners have a lot to lose if Peter Roosevelt succeeds in stopping the project for the sake of preserving Hawaii’s rich and exotic environment. When Roosevelt is found dead in his home, his neighbor, Wayne Takei, is quickly arrested—and becomes the latest, and possibly the most difficult, challenge for Honolulu’s top criminal defense attorney, Pancho McMartin.

The obstacles to proving Takei’s innocence are daunting. His gun was the murder weapon. He has no alibi. And his affair with Roosevelt’s wife provides ample motive. Lies and deception quickly plague the proceedings as Pancho and his team wade through a slew of suspicious characters, all of whom have alibis. Suspense is high as time is running out for Pancho to save his client from a lifetime in prison.

This is David Myles Robinson’s fourth novel in the award-winning, best-selling Pancho McMartin legal thriller series.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David Myles Robinson has always had a passion for writing. During the late 1960's and early 1970's, while in college, Robinson worked as a free-lance writer for several magazines and was a staff writer for a weekly minority newspaper in Pasadena, California, called The Pasadena Eagle. However, as he himself admits, upon graduating from San Francisco State University, he decided against the 'starving writer' route and went to law school, at the University of San Francisco School of Law. It was there that he met his wife, Marcia Waldorf. After graduating from law school in 1975, the two moved to Honolulu, Hawaii and began practicing law. Robinson became a trial lawyer, specializing in personal injury and workers' compensation law. Waldorf eventually became a Circuit Court judge.Upon retiring in 2010, Robinson completed his first novel, Unplayable Lie. He has since published eight more novels, five of which are legal thrillers set in Honolulu: Tropical Lies, Tropical Judgments, Tropical Doubts, Tropical Deception, and Tropical Scandal. His other novels are The Pinochet Plot, Son of Saigon, and Rex, the Kid, the Wore, and the Scientist.Robinson has also published a book of short travel stories, Conga Line on the Amazon.Robinson and Waldorf divided their time between Honolulu and their second home in Taos, NM for seven years before finally deciding to see what it's like to be full-time mainlanders again. They now live in Taos, where Robinson can pursue his non-writing passions of golf, ski, and travel.
