"Our guest of honor, Jimmy Tanaka, may have been "The Most Hated Man in Hawaii," but the College of Commerce was in no position to be picky. Not after the latest round of budget cuts. After a brutal year on the academic job market, Professor Molly Barda has finally landed a job at Mahina State University in Mahina, Hawaii ("Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow"). All she wants to do is keep her head down and stay out of trouble until she gets tenure. But then the wealthy and widely-hated Jimmy Tanaka, founder of Merrie Musubis lunch shop, pledges a huge donation to Molly's college and promptly disappears. Molly's bottom-line-obsessed dean, knowing that Molly is in no position to refuse, orders her to track down the missing mogul. As Molly uncovers Mahina's secrets, she starts to fall for Tanaka's competitor...who may have a skeleton or two in his own closet."--

Professor Molly Barda investigates a mysterious paddling accident, and realizes it isn't just business majors who cheat to get what they want. Whether it's moving up in the college rankings, getting a seat in the big canoe race, or just looking out for themselves, some people will do whatever it takes-including murder. If you like Dorothy Parker, Sarah Caudwell, P.G. Wodehouse, or E.F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia stories, or are in the mood for a murder in Hawaii, you'll enjoy this tale of passion, pilferage, and petty politics in the middle of the Pacific.
