Blog Tour: Tropical Deception

December 3, 2020

With some $200 million sunk into a real estate development plan in Kauai, the investment partners have a lot to lose if Peter Roosevelt succeeds in stopping the project for the sake of preserving Hawaii’s rich and exotic environment. When Roosevelt is found dead in his home, a suspect is quickly arrested—and becomes the latest challenge, and one of the toughest, for Honolulu’s top criminal defense attorney, Pancho McMartin.

The main obstacles in proving Wayne Takei innocent are tough to overcome: His gun is the murder weapon, and he has no alibi to help clear his name. Lies and deception quickly plague the proceedings, with Pancho and his team running out of time to save their client from life in prison, in this fourth novel of David Myles Robinson’s increasingly popular legal thriller series.

The parallel plot lines follow Pancho’s progress on the case along with the background movements of a slew of suspicious characters, keeping the suspense high as the evidence begins to stack up but substantial proof remains just out of reach.

 

About the Author

www.davidmylesrobinson.com

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 started at the Public Defender’s office and eventually became a District Court and ultimately a Circuit Court judge.

Upon retiring in 2010, Robinson completed his first novel, Unplayable Lie, which was published in 2010. He has since published five more novels. Tropical Lies, Tropical Judgments, and Tropical Doubts are all legal thrillers set in Honolulu. The Pinochet Plot and Son of Saigon are best described as suspense/thrillers.

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.
