Dex Hamilton is a burned-out former newspaper reporter who lives alone in the Hawaiian rainforest and plays at being a private investigator to keep himself in beer. After receiving a cryptic letter, he stumbles across a billion-dollar resort swindle involving his ex-wife and her new husband, a ruthless developer with a Tahitian bodyguard as big as a house. The first casualty of this dangerous game is his best friend, Juanito. As the bodies start to pile up, Hamilton has to learn how to become a real PI if he wants to survive and unravel the twisted links of The Paradise Connection.

Great Little Novel!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Paradise Connection (Paperback)
This book was a lot of fun to read. The writing style was different and the plot had a couple of nice twists. The story of a down and out character on the back side of paradise reminded me of a Humphrey Bogart movie. The dialogue was as snappy as Sam Spade's. I hope the author writes a sequel about this novice private eye.
