Quincannon’s pursuit of two con men who have absconded to Hawaii with a considerable sum of his employer’s assets dovetails nicely with Sabina’s vision of a second honeymoon. But neither is wont to stay out of trouble, and Sabina inadvertently becomes involved in a locked room murder involving a dying message in Honolulu.
Bill Pronzini has won numerous awards, including the 2008 Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America and the Hammer Award from the Private Eye Writers of America.

Reviews
“It can be read as a standalone…I also recommend this novel to anyone interested in Hawaiian historical fiction.“
“A full-fledged entertaining novel…[a] highly-detailed, atmospheric tale.”
“It’s a full, multidimensional novel crafted with a light but deft hand, providing an entertaining and thoughtful read.”
“Suddenly we have a classic Golden Age mystery…It’s Marlowe alternating with Poirot, an unusual and welcome mix.”
“Narrators Erica Sullivan and Kevin Kenerly capture 1890s San Francisco and…effectively depict the Hawaiian locale, food, words, and extremes of weather. Most entertaining is Kenerly’s portrayal of a local private investigator whose shrewd skills and ability to drink massive amounts of beer impress even Quincannon and add to a fun listen.”
