On a recent trip to Hawaii, the girls wanted shave ice (a local treat) and we stopped at the Waikoloa mall.\u00a0 It was a warm afternoon, the line was long, and I wasn’t about to stand in line and wait.\u00a0 The girls did, and I set off to wander the mall.\u00a0 Malls all pretty much look the same to me, but I wanted to get my daily steps in and it was an opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n

I hadn’t gone very far when I was surprised to see a local authors exhibit.\u00a0 I stopped to see what was there.\u00a0 There were several writers, and one was a nice fellow about my age named Ray Pace.\u00a0 We had a pleasant conversation, I enjoyed his east coast accent, and before I knew it, I bought a signed copy of Ray’s book.<\/p>\n

Disappearing Act<\/a><\/em> was a wise choice.\u00a0 It’s a crime novel that mixes science fiction, Vegas, Chicago, the mob, a private investigator, and assorted characters in an interesting tale.\u00a0 It was refreshing to read a story with no technical mistakes in the firearms descriptions.\u00a0 Pace is a good writer (he has the experience for it;\u00a0 before turning to fiction he was a crime reporter for big city newspapers).\u00a0 Disappearing Act<\/a><\/em> is 150 pages long and I read it on the flight home from Hawaii.\u00a0 It’s a light read, a good story, well written, and I enjoyed it.\u00a0 You will, too.<\/p>\n
