The Dead Season

HIS BEST BUDDY IS KILLED IN ACTION and Charley Ridgway has only the man's knife to remind him of their friendship. Now the knife has been stolen by a beautiful young woman connected to a violent murder, and the former soldier wants the weapon back. Hot on the trail of the thief, Charley's die-hard principles propel him through underworld intrigues, police troubles, and into the arms of the girl's seductive mother. Sequel to Anthony Pignataro's SMALL ISLAND, the action-packed Maui novel that first introduced readers to the savvy resort bartender, THE DEAD SEASON likewise presents surprising glimpses of the island paradise … a darker side seldom known to vacationers and other outsiders.
