‘'Cooked' has clues to Big Isle quest

New book, filled with romance, revenge, recipes, offers readers a chance to win cash in isle treasure hunt

By Terrie Henderson, Staff Reporter, Big Island Weekly

If you'd like to read a Hawaiian mystery filled with romance, revenge, recipes and clues that lead to a real live treasure, then "Captain Cooked" may be right up your alley.

Right now, a shark teeth club is hidden somewhere on the Big Island, and the clues to finding this "treasure" are hidden in the book and/or at. The hunt for the club will end about two years from now.

The book's main character is a woman named Madison Merlot Dayne, who arrives on the Big Island to shoot her father's popular television food show. Madison and her father find themselves trying to discover who has poisoned a revered Hawaiian musician. The main character, who was looking for an island romance, finds herself with three men in her life at the same time.

Big Island Weekly recently caught up with author S. P. Grogan, who gave us more insight into his newest quest adventure book.

"'Captain Cooked' breaks a few norms. When one thinks of culinary mystery (those with recipes) the common judgment is that these are cozies, fast reads, aimed at women mystery fans," Grogan said. "'Captain Cooked' brings in sub plots of monarchy restoration, legalizing casino gaming in Hawai'i, and the use of GPS involved in thefts. It reads also as a tourist guide where we hope readers: (a) follow the book around the island; and (b) try at home the recipes to make their own party. 'Captain Cooked' is not your normal mystery."
