The Volcano Shake
Nestled in a tropical rainforest on the edge of a volcano, the Honeycreeper Lodge is an out-of-the-way B&B on the Big Island of Hawai’i, where visitors come to relax and commune with nature.
Yet despite this idyllic setting, a series of anonymous threats have put the lodge’s proprietor on edge—and spurred his ex-wife to hire private eye Noelani Lee to find out who’s trying to destroy their business.
But as Noelani begins what she believes is a routine investigation into coercion and intimidation, murder also checks in—and leaves her wondering if a guest’s gruesome death and the lodge’s ordeals are related.
To find the killer, Noelani will wade through a roiling caldera of motives and lies ... all while the restless fire goddess Pele prepares to unleash her ground-shaking fury on these mere mortals.
About Tom Bradley Jr. (Las Vegas, Nevada 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 high school, the native Pennsylvanian enlisted in the U.S. Navy with the goal of becoming a journalist. Seven years later, he went to work for community and daily newspapers in San Diego County and, a few years afterward, 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.
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; and a basset hound named Molli.
