WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Více o knize

Ex-Captain Sue Fuller is a drunk, lives for weekends of stupor and forgetfulness working at menial jobs on Molokai, Hawaii. Even this existence is shattered when a member of her former sailing crew appears and swears that he has seen Clara, the woman whose supposed death led Sue to this half life. Thrust into a time warp when Maggie, an ex-lover, shows up asking for refuge but is murdered before she can help solve the mysteries of the past, Sue reluctantly emerges from self-enforced hibernation. She comes face to face with the fact of having been manipulated and victimized by her own lust and begins to see how her bitterness over past injustices have kept her from intimacy and friendship and caused her to become used in what appears to be an international smuggling operation. The fight for Hawaiian self-determination, a powerful symbol for agency, is woven into the complex tapestry of this intelligent and engrossing tale of corruption, betrayal, murder, and ultimately, redemption.
