Terrorism in Paradise: a Grant Kingsley novel

In the early decades of the 20th century, Communist efforts to bring justice to workers of the world led to many violent clashes. The clash of Communism and Capitalism brought violent death in 1924 to Filipino plantation workers on strike on the island of Kauai, in Hawaii. Sugar and pineapple plantations controlled worker discontent by "divide and conquer", importing uneducated workers who spoke different languages.This historical novel features the reaction of a young Filipino man to "The Hanapepe Massacre". He seeks revenge for his brother's death. Hero Grant Kingsley loses a family member in an explosion and works with his friend, Honolulu Detective Asing, to find the killer before the planters force a roundup of all Japanese workers. Local gangs in charge of corruption, an angry, jilted suiter of Grant's wife, a visit to a local "cat" house, car chases, an elite Hawaiian royalty group, and a dangerous object in his son's hands, obstruct and distract Grant in his search for his father's killer.
