Stryker McBride is a former organized crime reporter living in self-imposed exile on a houseboat in K?ne'ohe Bay, after being shot by a rogue cop during an investigation. At the request of a gorgeous high-school acquaintance, McBride finds himself swept up in the mysterious death of the beauty queen's wealthy grandfather, who was found face down in a taro patch. McBride narrates Aloha, Lady Blue, introducing readers to a vibrant cast of characters, among them "the gods"--Lono and Kane, McBride's German Shepherds--and an assortment of gruff cops, local gangsters and salty sailors.In honor of Lono and Kane--who, we discover, handle most of McBride's "job" as night watchman for the local yacht club--author Charley Memminger has pledged to donate all of his paperback royalties from Aloha, Lady Blue to the Hawaiian Humane Society.
