TROPICAL DoubtS
“The Pancho McMartin Legal Thrillers, set in Hawaii, are smart, witty, suspenseful page-turners… highly recommended.” —Robert Westbrook author of the Howard Moon Deer Mysteries
With some $200 million sunk into a real estate development on Kauai, the investment partners have a lot to lose if Peter Roosevelt succeeds in stopping the project for the sake of preserving Hawaii’s rich and exotic environment. When Roosevelt is found dead in his home, his neighbor, Wayne Takei, is quickly arrested—and becomes the latest, and possibly the most difficult, challenge for Honolulu’s top criminal defense attorney, Pancho McMartin. The obstacles to proving Takei’s innocence are daunting. His gun was the murder weapon. He has no alibi. And his affair with Roosevelt’s wife provides ample motive. Lies and deception quickly plague the proceedings as Pancho and his team wade through a slew of suspicious characters, all of whom have alibis. Suspense is high as time is running out for Pancho to save his client from a lifetime in prison. This is David Myles Robinson’s fourth novel in the award-winning, best-selling Pancho McMartin legal thriller series. |

TROPICAL DoubtS
Some Honolulu lawyers called Pancho McMartin the best criminal defense attorney in the islands. He'd admit to being pretty damn good. But he was on a losing streak now―three guilty verdicts in a row―and his confidence was sinking fast. When one of his oldest friends, Giselle, was left comatose after surgery and her husband, Manny, pleaded with him to sue the doctors involved, Pancho couldn't find a way to avoid a new specialty: medical malpractice.
But it wasn't long before the sudden death of one of the defendants―and a murder charge accusing Manny of being the killer―had Pancho back in the old familiar arena of fighting for his client's life, while at the same time seeking justice for the O.R. errors that had left Giselle in a permanent vegetative state. In Tropical Doubts, the third legal thriller from David Myles Robinson featuring colorful, fast-thinking Pancho McMartin, medical hijinks merge with murder as surprise twists build in this unpredictable courtroom drama. “…Robinson’s characters are finely delineated and credible, and his plot is solid and well crafted. Tropical Doubts: A Pancho McMartin Legal Thriller is most highly recommended.” —Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite “All the stars to this book!” --San Francisco Book Review “Readers won't believe how the story unfolds...” --Manhattan Book Review |

Finally, Pancho realizes there is one card he might be able to play in this life and death courtroom drama. It would be the biggest gamble of his professional life.
