On the Take in Waikiki

Honolulu philanthropist Kenji Ito has gone missing. His daughter is worried something has happened to him. So, she asks former skip tracer McKenna and his PI-wannabe sidekick Chance Logan to find her dad.

Right away, McKenna figures this simple find-my-dad situation is going to bring him trouble in paradise. Even McKenna doesn't foresee Kenji's body turning up, the victim of murder.

In addition to the murder, McKenna hears rumors about Kenji's company. For instance, he was a ruthless businessman. Or the one about payoffs to government officials. And then there's the supposed gang associations.

Oh yeah, McKenna's worried. If the rumors are true, he and Chance are in over their heads. And Benni could become a widow before she's even a bride.
