Sporting Girl - Softcover

Sporting Girl

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Detective Lieutenant Francis 'Sheik' Yoshikawa knows the system. He works it every day. He's seen how easily the truth gets buried under a trade of favors. Deals happen behind closed doors, and when something goes wrong, someone pays to keep it quiet.Most of the time, he keeps his distance.But when a woman is found murdered in the home of his closest friend, Wally Yoshida, distance is no longer an option. What should have been a small gathering among friends becomes a crime scene, and Sheik is pulled into a case that cuts close.The victim is a mainland guest with a past no one can fully account for. The last man seen with her is Harry 'Happy' Tokuda, a grifter Sheik has chased for years, slipping past consequences every time. To clear his friend, Sheik must confront an old nemesis who has always stayed just out of reach.As the case unfolds, facts tangle with loyalties. Stories shift. People protect what matters to them. What they remember, and what they choose not to say, begin to matter as much as the evidence itself. The closer Sheik gets, the harder it becomes to believe that justice and loyalty can exist in the same place.Set in postwar Honolulu, Sporting Girl blends sharp detective work with a strong sense of place, revealing a city shaped by memory, obligation, and quiet compromise.For readers of Naomi Hirahara and character-driven historical mysteries. Follow Francis 'Sheik' Yoshikawa's investigations in Kona Winds, Red Dirt, and Char Siu. Artikel-Nr. 9781943756155
