Diamond Head

By: Charles Knief

Winner of the annual St. Martin's Press/PWA Best First Private Eye Novel Contest. Newcomer Charles Knief spins a compelling mystery replete with scandal, intrigue, and an appealing new P.I.--retired U.S. Naval officer John Caine, living aboard his sailboat in the beautiful waters of Oahu, getting by doing "favors" for friends. But this time, the favor involves the brutal murder of Vice Admiral Winston's daughter, who it seems was involved in the snuff film industry. "Knief's writing is smooth and seamless, and he's concocted an involving plot to go with his likable, attractively macho hero and exotic setting. The result: an action-packed, satisfying debut." - Booklist

A Handful of Dust

Wyatt Earp's Last Gunfight

By: Charles Knief

It has been twenty-five years since the notorious gunfight at the O.K. Corral when Wyatt Earp and his wife, Josephine, move to Los Angeles. Bringing eighty-five thousand dollars in cash and gold with them, the reward for a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck. By 1910, they are broke and on the verge of starvation, thanks to insatiable gambling habits and inadequate talents. Now sixty-two, the Old West icon is forced to return to his career in law enforcement with the LAPD tracking bail skips. In true Wyatt Earp fashion, he creates an international incident by kidnapping two murder suspects from Mexico and bringing them back across the border while staying two steps ahead of the Mexican cavalry. When he is fired from the LAPD, he is offered a job to run off a group of trespassers from a mine in Searles Valley, California. After partnering with Bat Masterson, his friend of forty years, Wyatt has no idea that he is about to ride into the biggest gunfight of his life. A Handful of Dust tells the exciting tale of Wyatt Earp’s final gunfight.

Emerald Flash

By: Charles Knief

In his third adventure, private eye John Caine is in trouble again--only this time it comes looking for him. After saving a California woman and her corporation from certain ruin and acquiring his new home, a classic sailing vessel christened Olympia, he's back in his Hawaiian paradise, working hard at relaxing on the beach and trying to keep to the peaceful side of the street. But a woman named Margo Halliday is about to turn Caine's peaceful world upside down. One night, as Caine is leaving a neighborhood restaurant/bar, Chawlie's, he encounters a naked woman fleeing from a man who is shooting at her, but fortunately not doing a very good job of hitting his target. Caine easily disables the man and ushers the woman back into the restaurant. The woman, he discovers, is Margo Halliday, and the man, who quickly fled the scene, was her abusive ex-husband. Caine has almost forgotten about the incident when, months later, he reads about the murder of Margo's ex, who has been found shot to death in her exclusive Hawaii Kai condominium. And the next thing Caine knows, Margo is at his doorstep begging him to hide her from the thugs who murdered her ex and who she now thinks are after her. Desperate to get off the island of Oahu, Margo enlists Caine's help and unknowingly lead him into a lethal game that begins with shots aimed at them with high-powered rifles and leads them deep into the jungles on the island of Kauai, alone and outnumbered against the deadly assassins.
