The Barefoot Detective

It' s 1934 and Duke Kahanamoku— Olympian, lifeguard hero, movie star and surfing legend— has just taken on his hardest role yet: Chief of the Honolulu Police. In this introductory novel for THE BAREFOOT DETECTIVE series, Duke uses his charm and cunning to unravel five terrifying mysteries: a Presidential visit shadowed by a potential assassin; a dubious suicide in the middle of the Pacific Ocean; a poisonous tiki turned loose on a millionaire' s estate; a serial killer stalking the ghostly Waipio Valley; and a movie shoot in Waikiki that grinds to a halt after its director is found drowned in his own toilet.
