The Yoshinobu Mysteries

The island of Elima, one of the Neighbor Islands off the coast of Oahu, is home to defense lawyer Kay Yoshinobu and her colleagues, Quality Smith and Sidney Chu. While navigating the boundaries of love and friendship, Kay, Qual, and Sid take on seemingly impossible cases in the service of truth, justice, and the protection of human rights. In Death of the Tin Man's Wife, Kay and Sid must defend the obnoxious and outspoken Lester Hixon who has been accused of killing his business partner's wife. While investigating further into the company, Sid and Kay find that these fraudulent business men are sharing more than the company's profits. Can Kay, Sid, and Qual convince judge, jury, and themselves that Lester is innocent, or will he be the first to hang under Hawaii's newly instated death penalty? Laura Correa, the newest defense attorney at the offices of Smith, Chu, and Yoshinobu in A Very Personal Death, has always been unlucky in love. After meeting Kenneth Cole, an intelligent divorced software specialist, she feels her luck is beginning to change, but when the body of his co-worker turns up in a hotel on Elima, Laura begins to doubt Ken's innocent appearance. Kay and colleagues agree to take on the case, but as the evidence unfolds, Laura's would-be-lover is looking more and more like a cold-blooded murderer.
