1953, Hawaii. WWII vet Byrd is thrown off his stateside police force after an "incident" with a suspect. Having nowhere else to go, Byrd turns to his Army buddy, Mo Kalama, a detective in Hawaii. He now spends his days drinking tropical concoctions and his nights helping Mo with cases that fall just beyond the jurisdiction of the police. And in Byrd's Hawaii, the supernatural manifestations of the islands' myths and legends lie just around every corner. Byrd and Mo spend a stormy night tracking a zombie, walking in and out of traps set by the cunning and eccentric Bishop Masaki, and learning the chilling truth about the mysterious women they've found themselves entangled with. The story comes to a deadly conclusion as all players are reunited on the rainswept Honolulu docks. The first chapter of HAWAIIAN DICK concludes, with the course of Byrd's future being plotted in the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean.
