Many thanks once again to my wife Charlene for reading and commenting on some many Surfing Detective drafts and for being my partner on life’s many journeys. To Stu Hilt, the generous, humble, and brilliant Honolulu private detective who has guided me through every Surfing Detective mystery, this one included. And to Deborah L. Ross, Laurie Tomchak, and Nathan Avallone for providing invaluable editorial advice. Special thanks to Lorna Hershinow for her superb copy-editing and for resetting the moral compass of both the PI and his creator. And to Cinda Inman for her eagle-eye proofreading. Finally, mahalo to Miriam Fuchs and Alan Holzman, without whom these Surfing Detective mysteries would not have been written.
