Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal*

 After blowing up at his colleague, British Dr. Peter Chesterfield finds himself on a forced "vacation" (a medical conference) in Hawaii. His mouth and his intelligence soon involve him in a sinister, complicated case involving two deaths (one of which he feels he should have prevented) and tenacious female detective. Together they sort through the lies and misdirections to discover the source of the deaths and illegal activity. Faith is important to some of the characters, but is not the main point of the story.

It is encouraging to find an author who writes clean detective/mystery stories! Mr. Hannibal writes well, creates credible characters, and fashions a suspenseful plot. If I am in the mood for a well-created, well-written suspense novel, I will read Mr. Hannibal's other books! World magazine wrote a review about this speicifc novel, which prompted me to read it.

*Highly recommend. (I would have no problem recommending this author to teens. Adults will enjoy his writing just as much.)
