Edgar Rice Burroughs created the wildly popular Tarzan of the Apes
and John Carter of Mars, but the exploits of his heroes cannot rival
the writer’s own explosive adventure, sparked by the tragic murder of an
exotic young beauty on a moon-swept Honolulu beach. The killing is written off as the tragic result of a lovers’ quarrel, but
Burroughs suspects that the alluring half-Japanese singer was executed by
espionage agents. It’s December 6, 1941. War with Japan is looming, and
Burroughs has reason to suspect an attack on Oahu is imminent. Was the
songstress silenced to prevent her from singing about certain sinister
plans? As Burroughs and his son Hully search for clues and track down
suspects, all signs point to the next day-Sunday-as the perfect time for a
Japanese invasion. But the thought of such devastation raining down on
paradise seems almost unbelievable…. Set against the catastrophic aerial strike that led the United States into
another world war, The Pearl Harbor Murders effortlessly mixes hard- hitting action and exotic romance in this gripping untold chapter from our
nation’s most tragic day.
