Charles Knief – Emerald flash book.

A John Caine mystery

Paradise lost…A naked woman running from a man with a gun is not John Caine’s idea of a perfect Hawaiian evening, but as usual he goes to the rescue. The ex-naval officer turned PI would rather be on his classic boat Olympia, draining an Edelweiss and watching a mountain rainbow. When the selfsame Margo Halliday’s abusive ex-husband is found dead a few months later and she turns up on Caine’s boat, tanned, lush, and desperate, he knows he’s bought trouble big-time. Fleeing thugs with high-powered rifles, Caine speeds her to Kauai, an emerald jewel on a sapphire sea, when the ugly truth about her past emerges. Suddenly they’re on a lethal chase through island jungles, caught in a tangle of greed, revenge, and deadly lies….
