In 2010 we were pleased to republish the classic private eye novel, Pilikia Is My Business.

Pilikia means “trouble” in the Hawaiian language and pilikia is exactly what private investigator, Val Lyon finds on the mean streets of Honolulu. What starts off as a simple assignment tofind a missing young boy who is the object of a custody battle, turns into a fight for survival as death threats come in and bodies drop.

Pilikia Is My Business was nominated for a 2002 Shamus Award for best first PI novel.

NEW! Just released! Game Face is a collection of seven previously published Val Lyon short stories and one original story.

Honolulu’s hottest private eye is smart, sexy and tough. She doesn’t back down from any opponent, even when the opponent is Death. Val drops from the sky and paddles a turbulent ocean. She mixes it up on the sand and the hardwood. She faces off against predator sharks and ferocious bulls, but the most fearsome opponents are the two-legged ones.
