You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new. I'm your host, Patricia Elsie Tuttle, and don't you want my backlist, don't you want my book. This is episode number 255 and a half and today I'm going to

talk about a couple backlist titles that I'm really happy to share with you.

Hi everyone, how are we all holding up? I am doing the best I can. I'm working my day job

full-time from home. I am reading books and cooking and organizing and learning

a new song on the ukulele. I am definitely getting things done but real talk motivation is in the dumpster right now.

Everything is taking like three times the effort it would before this pandemic. I'm definitely not reading at the speed

I was a couple months ago so I'm still really thankful for audiobooks where I can increase the speed.

Both of my picks today I've read in e-book form and audiobook form,

and they're great reads both ways.

Before I get to my backlist book picks,

let's hear from today's sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by Big City Press. When a journalist drowns mysteriously off Waikiki,

former Special Forces veteran Pano Hawkins, now a well-known Hawaii Surfer and

international surfing journalist, quickly gets embroiled in trying to solve the case of her death.

What he learned soon targets him for murder or life in prison as a

cabal of powerful corporations, foreign killers, and crooked politicians focus the

blame on him. Haunted by memories of Afghanistan and determined to protect the

Hawaii he loves from dirty politics tied to huge destructive energy developments,

Pano turns to Special Forces buddies and his own skills to fight his deadly enemies,

trying to both save himself and track down her killers.

Make sure to pick up saving paradise by Mike Bond for what book reviews and Moore calls a complex murder

mystery about political and corporate greed and corruption.
