Crime & mysteryJuly 2012Murder in Honolulu
A Skye Delaney Mystery
by R. Barri Flowers
Murder in Honolulu is an island mystery novel set in Hawaii and the first book in a bestselling crime series. Skye Delaney is a private investigator, security consultant, and ex-cop who lives in Waikiki. When her ex-husband and former prosecutor turned businessman, Carter Delaney, asks her to find out if his new wife Darlene is having an affair, Skye reluctantly agrees to take the case. Little does she know that it will turn out to be far more than infidelity. Skye confirms that Darlene is not only having an affair but also doing drugs. But before Skye can tell this to Carter, she finds him dead in her Jacuzzi bathtub with an apparent suicide note stuffed in his mouth. Did he really take his own life with so much to live for? Or was Carter murdered? The one thing she knows for sure is that her German Shepherd Ollie bit an intruder who happened to have AB negative blood. As did Carter. Coincidence? Skye’s current love interest is Ridge Larsen, a homicide detective for the Honolulu Police Department, who also happens to be assigned to this case once it becomes official that Carter Delaney was murdered. As Skye continues to get deeper and deeper into the investigation of Carter’s death, it becomes apparent to her that it her ex had many secrets and just as many enemies, making him a marked man. These included working for the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney as a consultant on a case involving a crime syndicate, being a gambling addict, and being in debt to a loan shark. While the bodies continue to pile up, Skye puts her neck on the line to find out the truth and nail a ruthless killer who has targeted her for death; even as she tries to maintain her professional objectivity and balance it with her private and romantic life.

by Christian Kahl
After selling his IT start-up, Matthias Endesfelder leads a happy-go-lucky life as a multimillionaire. When he goes on his annual diving holiday to Makating - a luxury resort in Malaysia - he meets beautiful employee Darlene and falls in love with her. He spontaneously decides to accompany Darlene to a jungle expedition, to look for her missing brother. The latter had spent some time by the Luft people, one of the last tribes of the virgin forest, who also vanished without a trace. On the expedition, Matthias will soon discover that the timber mafia is destroying the jungle piece by piece through extensive slash-and- burn practices and that it has Borneo’s economy and politics firmly under its control. Appalled by this, he promises the Penan people, another threatened tribe, that he will buy a piece of the jungle for them to survive. Shortly afterwards, a stranger steels all the satellite phones of the expedition participants, who therefore lose their only connection to the civilised world. A short while later, Darlene will also go missing. Day by day, the group’s situation becomes more and more hopeless, but Matthias is driven by his wild hope to find Darlene…

An Art Gallery Mystery
by Drema J. Reed
Seattle senior citizen, DJ Kelly, and her three best friends and co-owners of the Waterfront Art Gallery, are detecting again. Despite an insistent internal voice that chides her for her risky adventures, DJ is not on the trail—this time to help Darlene, a nurse, who is trying to find a young man who was brought into the emergency room yelling a lot of strange, seemingly meaningless terms, including “CCR5,” and then who disappeared—possibly to the Psych Ward. Darlene has received a cryptic phone call from the young man and doesn’t know where to turn. The four women fling themselves into the search, assisted by their old nemesis, Police Inspector Keohan, and the gallery’s handyman and king of malapropisms—Jerry. But their investigation suddenly takes a dangerous turn and the four ladies find themselves in serious jeopardy. Will they find the young man and unravel the mystery of his apparent mental breakdown before it’s too late? Is he insane? Drugged? Or just pretending? It’s all in the genes—and in this case, they’re “killer genes.”
