A Suspense Novel Set in Hawaii

A wise-cracking real estate broker on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, Parker Hendrix, cultivates orchids, plays racquetball, and likes to sleep late after midnight skinny-dips with his free-spirited girlfriend, Lorri. When two mainland Mafia-types show up at Parker’s small-town office posing as real estate clients, Parker’s peaceful routine becomes engulfed in the grim realities of kidnapping, drugs, and murder – the underbelly of paradise. With little help from the local police, Parker enlists his ex-cop Polynesian buddy to untangle the mess.

Throughout the ordeal, Parker does his best to conduct real estate business as usual. His main preoccupation is selling a high-end beachfront home on the island’s north shore. Parker encounters myriad complexities of Hawaiian real estate, a barracuda seller’s agent, a canceled escrow, a complicated loan process, and a brusque buyer-client.
