Hell-Bent: One Man's Crusade to Crush the Hawaiian Mob

World-class beaches, fragrant frangipani, swaying palms, and hula girls. Most folks think of Hawaii as a vacation destination. Mob-style executions, drug smuggling, and vicious gang warfare are seldom part of the postcard image. Yet, Hawaii was once home to not only Aloha spirit, but also a ruthless, homegrown mafia underworld. From 1960 to 1980, Hawaiian gangsters grew rich off a robust trade in drugs, gambling, and prostitution that followed in the wake of Hawaiiâ€™s tourist boom.
Â Â Â Â Thus, by 1980â€”the year Charles Marsland was elected Honolulu's top prosecutorâ€”the honeymoon island paradise was also plagued by violence, corruption and organized crime. The zeal that Marsland brought to his crusade against the Hawaiian underworld was relentless, self-destructive, and very personal. Five years earlier, Marslandâ€™s son had been gunned down. His efforts to bring his sonâ€™s killers to justiceâ€”and indeed, eradicate the entire organized criminal element in Hawaiiâ€”make for an extraordinary tale that culminates with intense courtroom drama.
Â Â Â Â Hawaii Five-O meets Wiseguy in author Jason Ryanâ€™s vigorously reported chronicle of brazen gangsters, brutal murders, and a fatherâ€™s quest for vengeanceâ€”all set against an unlikely backdrop of seductive tropical beauty.
