Murder in Honolulu: a Skye Delaney Mystery

Publisher Marketing: MURDER IN HONOLULU is an island mystery novel set in Hawaii. Skye Delaney is a private investigator, security consultant, and ex-cop who lives in Waikiki. When her ex-husband Carter Delaney, former prosecutor turned businessman, 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 she is also doing drugs. Before Skye can tell Carter, she finds him dead in her bathtub with an apparent suicide note stuffed in his mouth. Did he really take his own life when he had so much to live for? Or was Carter murdered? 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 delve deeper into the investigation of Carter's death, it becomes apparent to her that her ex had lots of secrets and just as many enemies, making him a marked man. These include 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. MURDER IN HONOLULU is the first book in an exciting new mystery series featuring Skye Delaney. Contributor Bio:  Flowers, R Barri R.
