The Waimea Two-Step

by Tom Bradley Jr.

Overview

The wide open spaces of Waimea hold plenty of secrets...

So when Noelani Lee's sister ropes her into investigating the unsolved murder of an environmental activist, the Hawaiian private eye finds herself corralling a host of deep-seated mysteries and long-held grudges that could destroy a legendary ranching family's storied reputation.

As she retraces the dead woman's undercover probe into rumors of genetically-modified "super cattle" roaming the fabled Carswell Ranch, Noelani must lasso the ranch's influential owner and his wife; their prodigal son and daughter-in-law; a transgendered artist; the rugby-playing ranch manager; and an ex-con with a beef who's bent on rounding up a slew of loose ends.

To find the killer, Noelani will have to stay tall in the saddle and keep a tight grip on the reins as she rides a trail of adventure that could shake the town of Waimea down to the soles of its big, pointy boots.

The e-book version includes a sneak peek at the next Noelani Lee adventure, THE VOLCANO SHAKE.

About the Author

Legend has it that Tom Bradley Jr. began his writing career on his second birthday, when he used cake icing to scribe something illegible on his high chair. He’s been doing it ever since.

After barely graduating high school, the native Pennsylvanian—with romanticized images of Woodward and Bernstein’s Watergate exploits still rattling around his brain—enlisted in the U.S. Navy with the goal of becoming a journalist. Seven years later, armed with the most rudimentary training needed to write in the inverted pyramid style, Tom went to work for community and daily newspapers in San Diego County. But after sleeping through umpteen city council and planning commission meetings, and wading through mountains of verbal manure generated by politicians of all stripes, Tom sold out his dreams and launched a second career in public relations, first in Las Vegas, then in San Antonio, then back in Las Vegas. Wow. Guy can’t hold down a job.

Along the way he picked up a B.A. in Communications from National University in San Diego, and a M.A. in Strategic Communication and Leadership from Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. Both are sources of pride for Tom, and of embarrassment for the respective institutions of higher learning.

Despite numerous fits and starts at writing the Great American Novel, Tom set his sights lower and now pens mystery and caper novels featuring private investigator Noelani Lee and her adventures on the Big Island of Hawai’i. In addition, Tom has a blog, which he updates when the mood strikes, and he knows all about them Twitters (@TBradleywrites).

When he’s not fantasizing about retiring and opening a beachside bar in Costa Rica, Tom lives a real suburban existence—complete with a pool and a fridge full of beer—in Henderson, Nevada, with his wife, Donna; a laid-back tortoise-shell calico cat named Chloe; and a basset hound named Molli.
