Wiley's Refrain

Wiley is a professional poker player in Portland who walks the seedy streets of the city's darker side. He's no stranger to violence, but he's got a good heart and a noble streak that his friends and family know is a mile long. When he teams up with his best friend Leon, their enemies often see a streak of a different sort. The two are both beloved and feared among those who know them. The murder of a young musician puts Wiley in a vengeful frame of mind and when the evidence trail points to Hawaii, a place where Wiley has never set foot but which seems lately to be calling him home, he heads for the land of his ancestors in pursuit of justice. Reminiscent of the classic noir masters, Lono Waiwaiole's "Wiley" series has garnered a cult following and a palpable buzz in the mystery world.
