Enter a tropical paradise where gay anywhere but in the dark could get you killed! The unconventional Phillip Michael Carnegie, a cross between Lieutenant Columbo and Jessica Fletcher, is the best detective in the Honolulu Police Department, and his extraordinary skills are put to the test in John A. Roynesdal's Living in Darkness. A young, gay man's life is changed while walking the slopes of Diamond Head. A father is searching for his gay son. Paul Noa and Nick Keone, two gay police detectives, are convinced that a brutal attack and three murders are hate crimes. The lives of these people, along with detectives Phillip Michael Carnegie and George Maikai?moku, intersect in John Roynesdal's murder mystery, Living in Darkness. The detectives follow a twisted trail that takes them from the middle world of the military encampments on the island of O?ahu, up into the luxurious heights of Tantalus ? the volcanic slope that overlooks Honolulu ? down into the bowels of Hotel Street in China
