Paperback cover for my upcoming book

In my last blog, I announced the scheduled launch, on July 19, 2022, of the first book in my Maui Mystery series from Babylon Books, Eyes of the Beholder.

Today, I’m posting the front, spine, and back covers for the paperback edition. This includes a bit more information including a brief synopsis. So you won’t have to blow up the image, I include the synopsis below:

Spousal abuse. Crystal meth. Astrophysics.

A man who claims he’s from a parallel dimension.

All in a day’s work for a cop on Maui.

A wrong-way driver causes a devastating collision in paradise. Even police detective Keone Boyd, born and raised on the spirit-filled island of Maui, is not prepared for the investigation that follows. The facts lead him to an abused wife, an oily drug distributor, an observatory on the top of a dormant volcano, and a man who claims he’s traveled to Maui through an invisible contact between universes. He knows following the facts in paradise can take you far from where you expect or want to go, but this one takes him where he’s never gone before.

Frustrated, conflicted, and faced with deadly threats to himself and those he cares about, Keone uncovers events and theories that challenge his views of life, police work, and reality. How can one otherwise boring suspect, who believes left is right, impact the lives of so many? The answer to that question may only lie in the eyes of the beholder.
