Dark Oath, #18 in the Mike Angel PI Series. Drawn to follow a mysterious blonde with a more than ample backside, Mike falls into a case chasing a stolen relic of ancient Hawaiian King Kamehameha the First, reputed to bestow long life to the age of 130. After his Korean buddy is murdered in a downtown Portland alley by one of the several elements after the artifact, Mike feels obligated to forge on, thwarted by repeated female traps, one involving abduction by the Chinese Triad gang. Set in 1977 in Portland, and the Hawaiian Islands aided by the famous prosecutor Charles F. Marsland, Mike helps a brother-sister team, whose late father uncovered the relic. Adult language and situations: sex, violence, violent sex and sexy violence.
