K9 Rocky and partner Angie Ozawa take on their first big case. It's January 1955, "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes is No. 1 on the Mainland, and dogs, cats, and rats all talk up a tropical storm on Animal Island.

Can Rocky and Angie, Honolulu Police Department's first Japanese American female cop, take on evil Pinky Chang and his henchman and bust a drug ring organized by "Ready" Reilly, a Navy officer gone bad? Soon Carmen, queen of the city's felines and owner of a string of cat houses, union organizer and rat, Vlad the Red, and Gabby, a poodle and NIS agent from San Diego, join in and the fur flies!

"You can just about forget that the characters are animals in some cases. The dialogue, references, writing transports you back to old-time Honolulu. Believable and interesting characters drive this short and make it an enjoyable read."
