Synopsis

“The Pancho McMartin Legal Thrillers, set in Hawaii, are smart, witty, suspenseful page-turners… highly recommended.” —Robert Westbrook author of the Howard Moon Deer Mysteries

Auntie Irene Kamaka, Hawaii’s beloved singer, hula dancer, and former Miss Hawaii, is brutally robbed and murdered as she is leaving a gig in Honolulu.

Jackson Steele, a nineteen-year-old homeless black man is charged with her murder.

The famously tolerant Aloha State erupts in racial tensions at outrage over the loss of Hawaii’s iconic performer.

Well-known, flamboyant, and often unpredictable criminal defense attorney, Pancho McMartin, is cajoled by Honolulu’s administrative judge into representing the accused on a court-appointed basis.

As Pancho reluctantly goes to work for his new client, first impressions and assumptions—and not just about his client—begin to crumble.

Tropical Judgments is a roller-coaster of a ride through some of the darker underbellies of paradise—a page-turning legal thriller.

À propos de l'auteur

David Myles Robinson has always had a passion for writing. During the late 1960's and early 1970's, while in college, Robinson worked as a free-lance writer for several magazines and was a staff writer for a weekly minority newspaper in Pasadena, California, called The Pasadena Eagle. However, as he himself admits, upon graduating from San Francisco State University, he decided against the 'starving writer' route and went to law school, at the University of San Francisco School of Law. It was there that he met his wife, Marcia Waldorf. After graduating from law school in 1975, the two moved to Honolulu, Hawaii and began practicing law. Robinson became a trial lawyer, specializing in personal injury and workers' compensation law. Waldorf eventually became a Circuit Court judge.Upon retiring in 2010, Robinson completed his first novel, Unplayable Lie. He has since published eight more novels, five of which are legal thrillers set in Honolulu: Tropical Lies, Tropical Judgments, Tropical Doubts, Tropical Deception, and Tropical Scandal. His other novels are The Pinochet Plot, Son of Saigon, and Rex, the Kid, the Wore, and the Scientist.Robinson has also published a book of short travel stories, Conga Line on the Amazon.Robinson and Waldorf divided their time between Honolulu and their second home in Taos, NM for seven years before finally deciding to see what it's like to be full-time mainlanders again. They now live in Taos, where Robinson can pursue his non-writing passions of golf, ski, and travel.
