The story chronicles the aftermath of a shocking accusation — a young Hawaiian woman claims she was assaulted by a group of Navy men — and the explosive scandal that follows when her husband takes violent retribution. Norman Katkov presents a searing courtroom drama that argues powerfully against the corrosive forces of privilege, racism, and colonial power in pre-war Hawaii. Taut, morally charged, and cinematic in scope, the novel illuminates how truth becomes a casualty when military prestige and social hierarchy collide with justice. A masterwork of American crime fiction, it stands as a compelling portrait of a society on the brink of irreversible change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956413444315,"sku":"2026200008790-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/af9d5536-66df-4b10-a79d-69407533a936.png?v=1783500726","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008790-secondhand-blood-and-orchids","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
