It’s "the toughest, direst, most satisfying job in town," and in Honolulu Cop: Reflections on a Career with HPD, retired major Gary A. Dias takes us with him as he learns the ropes and moves from assignment to assignment, encountering crooks, resourceful prostitutes, deadly snipers, ornery dogs, and even a few ghosts. With self-deprecating humor and a judicious assessment of strength and weakness of those on both sides of the law, Dias provides an inside look at the evolution of law enforcement since the 1970s.

In this wickedly satiric romp, Paul Theroux captures the essence of Hawaii as it has never been depicted. The novel’s narrator, a down-on-his-luck writer, escapes to Waikiki and soon finds himself the manager of the Hotel Honolulu, a low-rent establishment a few blocks off the beach. Honeymooners, vacationers, wanderers, mythomaniacs, soldiers, and families all check in to the hotel. Like the Canterbury pilgrims, every guest has come in search of something -- sun, love, happiness, objects of unnameable longing -- and everyone has a story. By turns hilarious, ribald, tender, and tragic, H
