Outline

In the waning days of summer 1931, Honolulu’s tropical tranquillity was shattered when a young Navy wife made a drastic allegation of rape against five nonwhite islanders. What unfolded in the following days and weeks was a racially-charged murder case that would make headlines across the nation, enrage Hawaii’s native population, and galvanise the island’s law enforcers and the nation’s social elite.
