The mystery surrounding the disappearance of mobster Mo-Mo Martine in Canada during the days of disco and polyester is finally solved when his body is found in a drum off the sapphire waters of Oahu.
An associate (local limb-breaker Harry the Hoarse) asks the pretty private investigators from the Triple Threat Investigation Agency – JJ, Rey, and Linda – to prove it wasn’t his brother-in-law, Johnny B. He’d been accused back then but never arrested, and it certainly appears that he’s the perp now. The trio finds itself embroiled in the most challenging, if not deadly, case yet!
Countless people – family, friends, foes – hated Mo-Mo. Anyone could have murdered him. Or was it a professional hit by the notorious, never-miss Death Angel? Is it possible!? The faceless, nameless assassin-for-hire is still plying his trade after all these years?
As bodies drop, the P.I.s begin to believe answers won’t come from anyone they interview; they’ll be found in mysterious photos dating back to Mo-Mo’s disco days. They merely have to decipher what the people and backdrops in those photos are telling them—a tricky task indeed. Will they figure it out before more murders occur… perhaps theirs?

Q&A With the Author
What was your inspiration for writing this book?
It’s the sixth book in the Triple Threat Investigation Agency series and when one case is solved, another pops into my head.
The inspiration for the series is based on my love of mysteries, particularly those involving female detectives/sleuths. When I wrote The Connecticut Corpse Caper, it was meant to be a standalone. But the trio—JJ, Rey, and Linda—had other plans, particularly Rey. She was adamant about starting up a private investigation agency, so much so she convinced (whined and nagged) Cousin JJ and her BFF Linda to join her. And given my love of Hawaii, it seemed the ideal location.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
I enjoyed throwing out red herrings . . . and trying to figure out whodunit. In this book, there were a lot (!) of people who might have “dunit”, so it proved more of a challenge than usual. Just when it seemed so-and-so might have been the murderer, so-and-so died. It was a bit of a juggling act—trying yet fun.
The ending is also a bit out of the norm. I’d not planned it that way; the characters had. They’re the ones in command of what transpires; I merely record it. 😉
Do you have any other books you are working on that you can tell us about?
I’m stepping away from mysteries for a while. My latest book is based on the 1980s UK music scene. It’s quite different from what I usually write … and I’m thoroughly loving it.
Can you tell us about what you have planned for the future?
Certainly—to finish the aforementioned standalone. I’m also a part-time editor, so I’d like to make that full-time, and have an appropriate website set up. I started learning Japanese last year, but have taken a short break from it; I intend to return to it in January 2024.
Anything more you would like to say to your readers and fans?
Thank you kindly for the support, for reading about the trio’s crazy trials and tribulations as they solve cases. JJ, Rey, Linda, and I are always open to suggestions and feedback. Do feel free to send those our way.
