Harrigan

In the electric first hours of Honolulu, red-haired Harrigan steps into a city already alive with danger, his hard look marking him as a man made for trouble. Drawn into the rough, mixed world of Iwilei, he is first warned off by a sharp-eyed girl at a window, then swept into a street brawl when a tall black-haired stranger fights a crowd of soldiers. Harrigan throws himself into the melee with fierce delight, helping the stranger escape and earning the notice of the police as a dangerous fugitive. That stranger is McTee, and when Harrigan later boards a departing steamer and discovers him as captain, the real battle begins. McTee rules by cruelty and command, setting out to break Harrigan through exhausting labor, while the ship's bitter, multinational crew waits and watches under a captain they hate. Amid the brutality, a young woman's quiet kindness offers Harrigan a brief moment of tenderness, but the voyage soon darkens as he uncovers a mutiny led by the calculating bos'n Hovey, where murder, hidden treasure, and betrayal hang in the air. Refusing to strike in the dark, Harrigan faces the conspirators openly, and with nerve, wit, and pride, turns their own plot into a deadly contest of wills.
