Five Decembers is a mystery set in World War II, starting off in Hawaii just before Pearl Harbor. The main protagonist is a Honolulu Police Department detective, who ends up travelling to Wake Island, Guam, Hong Kong and Tokyo in his search for the perpetrator of two brutal murders. Though many books feature World War II, it’s interesting to have the war in Asia as the backdrop, including the firebombing of Tokyo in March 1945.
