Honolulu PI Val Lyon has two things men want -- a big gun and a sweet jump shot. Now somebody wants her dead.
LTDBooks...The New World Of Re(at)ding!
Mark Troy's Murder and Mayhem Site
Ex-cop, ex-con, ex-pro basketball player turned private investigator, Val Lyon walks the mean streets of Honolulu. She has been hired by a local attorney to find a missing boy who is the centerpiece of a bitter custody battle. Neither Val nor her client, Brian Magruder, realize what a high profile the case has acquired until they receive death threats.
Val's task pits her against a prominent feminist activist, some politically-connected clergy and members of a powerful local family. Soon bodies begin to drop and Val finds herself not only searching for the boy, but trying to protect Brian as well. The fact that she has fallen for Brian only complicates matters.
The assignment takes Val from the canyons of downtown Honolulu to the leper colony of Molokai and back again. All the way, a killer is dogging her footsteps.
Excerpt
My name is Val Lyon. Pilikia is my business.
Pilikia means "trouble" in the Hawaiian language. You pronounce it pi as in what children do in the swimming pool, li as in the Confederate general, ki, an instrument to open locks, and ah. At one in the afternoon, two weeks before Christmas, I had an appointment with an attorney about some pilikia.
