Death of a Messenger

Fans of Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, and Lee Child are always on the lookout for an author with a smart, tenacious—although flawed—hero, on whom they can depend for a character-driven, yet intelligent plot, propelled by a protagonist who will not give up—no matter what. Koa Kane and Death of a Messenger delivers that, plus the atmospheric bonus of Hawai’i’s Big Island. Death of a Messenger is a prequel to the Koa Kane Hawaiian Mystery Series novels Off the Grid and Fire and Vengeance. The author hired publicist Fauzia Burke of FSB Associates for social media campaigns and will invest in ancillary advertising. The author knows the nuances of Hawai'i’s Big Island culture and describes it with intense accuracy and flair. As a former criminal defense lawyer, the author knows his way around crimes and prosecutions. Death of a Messenger is perfect for any reader fascinated by Hawai'i’s rich culture, history, and language. The author’s involvement with local libraries, bookstores, and multiple community groups in Hawai'i provides multiple and varied opportunities for promotional book events. He plans promotional events in New York City (his primary residence) and in Long Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. The author has an active presence on social media and an extensive email list. He will promote his book via Facebook and Twitter. He will also give talks and attend interviews.
