And yet, Honolulu likes its anonymity. Tourists and outsiders corral themselves in hotels and resorts, vacation eyes glued to their beachfront sunsets and mai tais while the people who live here get on with their affairs. And sometimes it's dirty business. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eHonolulu Noir\u003c\/em\u003e comprises stories about the people of the city, written by those who know this place best. The volume opens with a story featuring Chang Apana, the Native Hawaiian\/Chinese real-life cop who was the inspiration for the controversial Charlie Chan. It ends with a supernatural journey from the Philippines to Hawaii. In between, readers will find multicultural tales of invasion (whether yakuza, ISIS recruiters, or vampires), madness, addiction, and murder--all the stuff that many people don't know happens here. Unbeknownst to the rest of the country, Honolulu can be a very dangerous place. Here, even the alluring crystal-blue waters might kill you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris McKinney says, \"When the opportunity to edit \u003cem\u003eHonolulu Noir\u003c\/em\u003e was presented to me, I jumped at the chance.
