Tropical Deception: A Pancho McMartin Legal Thriller

When Peter Roosevelt won his injunction with the Supreme Court, it should have been a day to celebrate. Instead, he was dead within three hours. Pancho McMartin just returned from New Mexico visiting his parents after his father suffered a stroke.

Wayson Takei is accused of killing Peter because of the affair he was having with Lei, his wife. But that wasn’t his only possible motive. He was also an investor for the development Peter was trying to stop. Drew Tulafono is a former NFL football player is Pancho’s investigator. Drew travels to Las Vegas to look into possible mob connections to the murder.

This is the third book I have read by this author. I enjoy his writing style. The story is fast pasted and takes place in Hawaii, Las Vegas and New Mexico. It is written in first person (Pancho) and third person point of view. The characters are developed but since this is a part of a series, they are probably described more in detail in previous books. Although I have not read any of the other books in the series, it did not take anything away from the story. If you like books by John Grisham, you would definitely enjoy this book.
