Mano

By Liam Robert Mullen

Mano. There's a new cop in Hawaii, and he doesn't take prisoners.

This is the tagline I've used for the Mano premise.

The tale is a post-9/11 piece and concerns the hunt for an ISIS terrorist cell intent on carrying out a dirty bomb attack on the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbour. The group is led by the fanatical Hakim, a Saudi terrorist who used to work as an executioner in his home country. When he finds out that there is a tough cop called Mano out to stop him, he makes a near-fatal error of judgment by ordering a hit on one of Hawaii's top cops - a move that will bring in the FBI and Homeland Security - and makes Mano aware of the threat against him.

Mano is already a marked man because of his previous undercover work on the Chinese triads. His security detail has always been aware of threats against him and remains constantly on heightened alert. Mano has the cream of HPD already working within his squad, besides his own security detail, experienced cops like The Seeker, Nui, and Pono. Together, they form a formidable team which Hakim will have trouble overcoming.

The story carries a lot of pace and action and strong characterization which ultimately will propel the story forward to a nail-biting conclusion.
