Aloha Lily Chen — D.W. Linden

It's 1927 and mainland America is roaring through the 20's while, in the Territory of Hawaii, Irishman Joe Kelly is an exile in paradise. Having barely survived the Easter Rebellion and and World War I in Europe, Joe is now working on the Honolulu docks on the opposite side of the world. But trouble always finds Joe Kelly. In this first of the Joe Kelly Mystery series, Joe tries to protect a 12 year old Chinese girl and her seriously ill father from the intrigues and chaos of China as they're hunted by a Shanghai assassin. Part Dashiell Hammett and part Erich Maria Remarque, the Joe Kelly Mystery Series welcomes you to the world between the wars as it comes ashore in Hawaii.
