Minidoka Legacy - An Action Adventure of Historic Injustice, Crime, and Redemption 2021 CIBA Series Award Finalist for Global Thriller High Stakes Fiction May 1942—Preparing for internment, a Japanese farmer slams his pick into the hard-packed earth. Raising the pick again, he pulls it down hard with all his strength and rage into the ground. Again, and again, he punishes the earth until he is breathless and sweating in the cool night air. In his Seattle hotel basement, a kind man offers storage for the farmer's most precious belongings until the internment ends. Mother, father, daughter, and son, report to the ironically named Camp Harmony, where a train transports them to Minidoka, Idaho to begin their imprisonment for the sin of having Asian eyes. Seventy-five years later, while ex-Air Force pilot Lincoln James Malloy works as an undercover pilot for the Washington State Patrol, his sisters, Alex and Skylar, follow the clues hinted at by the farmer’s basement legacy. For three generations, the Yakuza has had its hands in everything, from gambling and prostitution to drug and human trafficking. But above it all, Makiko Takeyama—The Mako—kumichō of the entire Takeyama-kai, wanted one thing—to fulfill her dead father’s lifelong quest. Three generations of three intertwined families struggle toward the same goal. Murder, drug smuggling, human trafficking, and unrequited love weave a deadly story whose threads converge in a long-abandoned aircraft hangar to discover the Minidoka Legacy. 2018 Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society Faulkner–Wisdom Competition Semifinalist 2017 Clive Cussler Collector’s Society Adventure Writer’s Competition Top 3 Finalist
