Charles Knief Synopsis: Diamond Head is the first John Caine novel by Charles Knief. When an admiral asks retired naval officer John Caine to find the killer of the admiral’s daughter, Caine finds that the girl played a part in Hawaii’s snuff film industry and seeks to save the admiral from scandal while finding his daughter’s killer.
Sand Dollars by Charles Knief is the second John Caine novel. Still not over losing his girlfriend and his treasured boat, retired U.S. Naval officer and private investigator John Caine returns to action when a wealthy San Diego woman hires him to investigate the death of her software mogul husband. From Hawaii to California to Mexico, Caine sets out to find what happened to Paul Peters – and the millions embezzled from his firm. With the comely widow barely an arm’s length away, Caine dives into a hotbed of Mexican justice, predatory sex, bullets and border politics to follow the money and find the truth.
