\n\t\tHawaii, 1941.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

War clouds with Japan are gathering and the islands of Hawaii have become battlegrounds of spies, intelligence agents, and military officials – with the island’s residents caught between them. Toiling in the shadows are Douglas Wada, the only Japanese American agent in naval intelligence, and Takeo Yoshikawa, a Japanese spy sent to Pearl Harbor to gather information on the U.S. fleet.<\/p>\n

Douglas Wada’s experiences in his native Honolulu include posing undercover as a newspaper reporter, translating wiretaps on the Japanese Consulate, and interrogating America’s first captured POW of World War II, a submarine officer found on the beach. Takeo Yoshikawa is a Japanese spy operating as a junior diplomat with the consulate who is collecting vital information that goes straight to Admiral Yamamoto. Their dueling stories anchor\u00a0Ghosts of Honolulu’s\u00a0gripping depiction of the world-changing cat and mouse games played between Japanese and US military intelligence agents (and a mercenary Nazi) in Hawaii before the outbreak of the second world war.<\/p>\n

Also caught in the upheaval are Honolulu’s innocent residents – including Douglas Wada’s father – who endure the war’s anti-Japanese fervor and a cadre of intelligence professionals who must prevent Hawaii from adopting the same destructive mass internments as California.<\/p>\n

Scrutinizing long-buried historical documents, NCIS star Mark Harmon and co-author Leon Carroll, a former NCIS Special Agent, have brought forth a true-life NCIS story of deception, discovery, and danger.\u00a0Ghosts of Honolulu\u00a0depicts the incredible high stakes game of naval intelligence and the need to define what is real and what only appears to be real.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"amazon\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"apple\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"bam\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"google\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"barnes\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"kobo\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"bookshop\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"walmart\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"indiebound\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Audible\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

\n\t\tLeon Carroll, Jr.\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Leon Carroll Jr. is the technical advisor on the hit drama\u00a0NCIS. A native of Chicago, Illinois, he attended Lindblom Technical High School and went on to earn a BS degree in business economics from North Dakota State University. He was a member of two College Division national championship teams in the late 60s. Leon was a commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps, serving on active duty for 6 years and 3 years in the Marine Corps Reserves, attaining the rank of Major. His duty assignments included serving in the Fleet Marine Forces and Sea Duty onboard the USS\u00a0Ogden\u00a0(LPD-5). Following his stint in the Marine Corps, Leon began a 20-year career as a Special Agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). He served in 7 different locations, including tours as a Special Agent Afloat on the USS\u00a0Ranger\u00a0(CV-61) and as the Special Agent in Charge of NCIS offices in the Republic of Panama and the Pacific Northwest. Upon retirement from NCIS, Leon was selected to be the technical advisor for the top-rated drama of the same name, holding that position for 20 seasons. His experience in Foreign Counterintelligence gives him unique insight into the world in which Doug Wada operated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Harper\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
