About this ebook
MURDER IN HONOLULU is an
island mystery novel set in Hawaii.
Skye Delaney is a
private investigator, security consultant, and ex-cop who lives in Waikiki.
When her ex-husband and former prosecutor turned businessman, Carter Delaney,
asks her to find out if his new wife Darlene is having an affair, Skye
reluctantly agrees to take the case. Little does she know that it will turn out
to be far more than infidelity.
Skye confirms that
Darlene is not only having an affair but also doing drugs. But before Skye can
tell this to Carter, she finds him dead in her Jacuzzi bathtub with an apparent
suicide note stuffed in his mouth.
Did he really take his
own life with so much to live for? Or was Carter murdered?
The one thing she knows
for sure is that her German Shepherd Ollie bit an intruder who
happened to have AB negative blood. As did Carter. Coincidence?
Skye’s current love
interest is Ridge Larsen, a homicide detective for the Honolulu Police
Department, who also
happens to be assigned to this case once it becomes official that Carter
Delaney was murdered.
As Skye continues to delve
deeper and deeper into the investigation of Carter’s death, it becomes apparent
to her that her ex had many secrets and just as many enemies, making him a
marked man. These included working for the Honolulu Prosecuting
Attorney as a consultant on
a case involving a crime syndicate, being a gambling addict, and being in debt
to a loan shark.
While the bodies
continue to pile up, Skye puts her neck on the line to find out the truth and
nail a ruthless killer who has targeted her for death; even as she tries to
maintain her professional objectivity and balance it with her private and
romantic life.
