Kona Stories

Baron R. Birtcher, a native of Orange County, California, and an alumnus of the University of Southern California, spent a number of years as a professional musician, guitarist, singer and songwriter. He founded an independent record label, and spent 18 years in the commercial real estate business in California.

Baron relocated to Hawaii in 1996 to pursue a career as a writer. His first two hardboiled mystery novels, Roadhouse Blues and Ruby Tuesday were Los Angeles Times and IMBA Best-Sellers. He has also had the honor of serving as a judge for the prestigious Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award.

His newest novel, Angels Fall, is the third in the critically-acclaimed Mike Travis series. In this chilling mystery, the disappearance of a young girl draws former Los Angeles detective Travis away from his scuba charter business and into the bowels of an underground culture driven by designer-narcotics and violent sex. What he uncovers is a world built on secrets, and entire lives built on lies.
