We discuss Part One, Chapters 12-27 of Eric Redman's new Hawaiian Noir novel, Death in Hilo. Kawika's wife, Elle, has gone missing, and the only person with information as to where she's gone is Jarvis. As the lines of Hawaii's biggest cases begin to cross, how can Kawika survive not just the brimming blood at his doorstep, and the axe of audit at his neck. This crime climbs right to the top.
We also talk with Eric Redman himself about the rules of crime fiction, and his personal links with his writing.
Thank you to the University of Hawaii, Pineapple Tweed, and Crooked Lane for providing copies of 'Death in Hilo' and arranging for us to speak with Eric Redman.
