Mercury Blues, Mercury Jones, #1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can Mercury Jones outsmart a gun-happy hitman, or will he soon be singing the blues?
\nFormer LAPD detective Mercury Jones moves to Maui to start afresh as a private investigator but trouble follows him.
\nSomebody is trying to kill him. He thinks he knows who, but proving and preventing his own homicide seems impossible. That\u2019s when he reaches out to Maui PD\u2019s Lieutenant Lei Texeira and tells her a bizarre tale.
\nLei knows Mercury from the bomb course she took\u2014and failed\u2014with Detective Abe Torufu.
\nNot that she holds this against him. Even though Merc somehow aced the class and beat all the other students, she\u2019s always felt the surfer-cop was a bit of a buffoon.
\nWhen he tells her his chilling tale, she wonders if Merc\u2019s snapped his cap, until somebody takes potshots at them.<\/p>\n

Merc worked undercover on a \u201cvirtual kidnapping\u201d case for the LAPD\u2019s Threat Management Unit, posing as a hitman for Alejandra Vasquez, a ruthless young woman running the scam across three mainland states. She not only killed the man Mercury loved, but is responsible for the death of a girl kidnapped by one of her goons.
\nThough caught and charged, Vasquez was allowed out on bail under home arrest, pending her trial. Now she\u2019s vanished.
\nMerc, still traumatized by the events that unfolded, is being terrorized. Somebody has tracked him down to his new upcountry ranch in Kokomo and is leaving ominous messages and strange \u201cgifts.\u201d Not only that, but he\u2019s receiving daily texts with chilling photoshopped images of a freshly turned grave covered in rainbow daisies.
\nCan Lei and her partner, Detective Pono Kaihale help Merc? Or will he wind up as fertilizer for some fine-looking blooms?<\/p>\n

Mercury Gold, Mercury Jones, #2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gold is good. Gold is sparkly. Mercury Jones learns gold is also\u2026 deadly.
\nMaui\u2019s newest private detective Mercury Jones gets a hot new case. Burning hot, that is. A young family has disappeared and the deeper Merc delves into the mysterious Harrison family, the weirder the case becomes. Gold, mob bosses, more gold, and the riddle of some blue eggs have him scratching his head.
\nOr is that the fault of a local outbreak of head lice?
\nSomebody seems bent on making the case tough to solve, and Merc\u2019s not feeling good. He has weird symptoms just when he doesn\u2019t need them. He has another case he\u2019s still wrapping up, and he has a new chance at love.
\nOr does he?
\nWith clues and suspects colliding, he joins forces with Maui P.D.\u2019s Lieutenant Lei Texeira to figure things out. But all he wants is bed rest. And not necessarily alone. When he receives a startling medical diagnosis, he\u2019s too embarrassed to share the news, let alone his bed.
\nGold is good. But not in this case.<\/p>\n

Mercury Mojito, Mercury Jones #3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercury\u2019s hunt for a homicidal bartender gives new meaning to killer cocktail.
\nMaui-based private investigator Mercury Jones is in sunny Waikiki for a romantic week-long vacation with his new love. But things go awry before he even sets foot off the plane.
\nHe\u2019s received two strange emails from an inmate at a notorious prison regarding an unsolved murder. The tantalizing but weird messages claim that Merc knows him, but under another name. But Merc doesn\u2019t recognize the guy from the booking photo\u2026until he visits him in person and realizes who he is beneath his extensive plastic surgery.
\nAnd Michael Mendotti is not somebody Merc is happy to see again.Still, an unsolved murder, especially one that involves an innocent woman, is not something Merc or US Marshal Tony McCracken can ignore.But things are about to become even more shaken up, even stirred.<\/p>\n
