Max Collins delivers again with The Pearl Harbor Murders. Collins mixes history with possible scenarios for page-turning action in the days leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December, 1941. In this literary mystery, he puts Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and son in the thick of espionage plots in beautiful Waikiki. His other "Murder" books also use famous authors who sleuth their way through famous disasters. You don't have to be a history buff to enjoy these mysteries, and you're sure to learn something new before you're done.

From AudioFile: "Max Allan Collins's novels merge history and fiction; THE PEARL HARBOR MURDERS continues this pattern, focusing on the bombing of Pearl Harbor. With Edgar Rice Burroughs as a key player, the book intertwines the events of December 7, 1941, with the murder of Asian singer Pearl Harada. Burroughs, an unlikely person to solve a murder, knew Pearl and finds her body. With his son Hully, he inquires into the death and finds a bevy of suspects, including many ex-boyfriends, racists, and others.
