In Copper and Goldie, 13 Tails of Mystery and Suspense in Hawai‘i, homicide detective Sam Nahoe takes a bullet in his spine in the line of duty. Disabled, his career with the Honolulu Police Department shattered—what now? Jobless, lonely, and unwillingly divorced, Sam becomes a Checker Cab driver. Seeking a partner, he adopts a rescue golden retriever—with a dollop of Doberman, and trains her to perform neat tricks like growling at a fare who doesn’t tip. He and Goldie cruise Oahu for fares, encountering thieves, kidnappers, vengeful wives, and even killers, compelling Sam to get his private investigator license. His Sunday visitations with his daughter, Peggy, can turn a magical park day into a hair-raising crime scene, but his shrewd little kid becomes a miniature sleuth in her own right. Sam’s Hawaiian heritage provides him with spunk and street smarts. With the bullet still in his spine, he hobbles around on two canes he’s dubbed Cane and Able as he orders Goldie to chase down the bad guys. His favorite snitch, card-sharp Sophie, asks him: “You still walkin’ with them giant chopsticks?” The book includes thirteen individual detective mysteries with pictures.

ROSEMARY AND LARRY MILD, cheerful partners in crime, coauthor mystery, suspense, and fantasy fiction. Their popular Hawaii novels, Cry Ohana and its sequel Honolulu Heat, vibrate with island color, local customs, and exquisite scenery. Also by the Milds: The Paco and Molly Murder Mysteries: Locks and Cream Cheese, Hot Grudge Sunday, and Boston Scream Pie. And the Dan and Rivka Sherman Mysteries: Death Goes Postal, Death Takes A Mistress, and Death Steals A Holy Book. Plus: Unto the Third Generation, A Novella of the Future, and three collections of wickedly entertaining mystery stories—Murder, Fantasy, and Weird Tales; The Misadventures of Slim O. Wittz, Soft-Boiled Detective; and Copper and Goldie, 13 Tails of Mystery and Suspense in Hawai‘i.
ROSEMARY, a
graduate of Smith College and former assistant editor of Harper’s, also
delves into her own nonfiction life. She published two memoirs: Love! Laugh! Panic! Life With My Mother
and the acclaimed Miriam’s World—and Mine, for the beloved daughter they
lost in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. On her
lighter side, Rosemary also writes award-winning humorous essays, such as
failing the test to get on Jeopardy; and working for a giant
free-spending corporation on a sudden budget: “No new pencil unless you turn in
the old stub.”
LARRY, who
was only called Lawrence when he’d done something wrong, graduated from
American University in Information Systems Management. In 2019 he published his
autobiography, No Place To Be But Here: My Life and Times, which traces
his thirty-eight-year professional engineering career from its beginning as an
electronics technician in the U.S. Navy, to a field engineer riding Navy ships,
to a digital systems/instrument designer for major Government contractors in
the signal analysis field, to where he rose to the most senior level of
principal engineer when he retired in 1993.
Making use of
his past creativity and problem-solving abilities, Larry naturally drifted into
the realm of mystery writing, where he also claims to be more devious than his
partner in crime and best love, Rosemary. So he conjures up their plots and
writes the first drafts, leaving Rosemary to breathe life into their characters
and sizzle into their scenes. A perfect marriage of their talents.
Over a dozen
worldwide trips to Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Cambodia,
Burma, Great Britain, France, Italy, Israel, Egypt, and more have wormed their
way into their amazing stories. In their limited spare time, they are active
members of the Honolulu Jewish Film Festival committee, where Larry is the
statistician and recordkeeper for their film ratings.
