Publisher's Synopsis
Pancho McMartin is back! After one of Hawaii's most beloved celebrities is murdered, Pancho gets an unexpected call from Judge Makena, the administrative judge. The good judge, short of court appointed attorneys, wants Pancho to represent a young, homeless black man, Jackson Steele, accused of the murder. But not only has the famously tolerant Aloha State erupted in racial tensions at outrage over the loss of Hawaii's iconic performer, the evidence against Jackson is compelling.
As Pancho reluctantly goes to work for his new client, he and his lead investigator and best friend, Drew Tulafono, find themselves immersed in some of the darker underbellies of this tropical paradise. The problem? There are many on the island with reasons to keep the secrets of the murder just that - secret. Even if it means an innocent young man goes to jail.
David Myles Robinson crafted a fast-paced story that keeps readers glued to the pages from the first page to the end of the story. If you read Robinson's first Pancho McMartin tale, Tropical Lies, you know what you're in for.
