β¦ Synopsis
Tomi was born in Hawaii. His grandfather and parents were born in Japan, and came to America to escape poverty.
World War II seems far away from Tomi and his friends, who are too busy playing ball on their eighth-grade team, the Rats.
But then Pearl Harbor is attacked by the Japanese, and the United States declares war on Japan. Japanese men are rounded up, and Tomi's father and grandfather are arrested. It's a terrifying time to be Japanese in America. But one thing doesn't change: the loyalty of Tomi's buddies, the Rats.

Dave Beckett, a homicide detective who doesn't color within the lines, is regulated to the lowest job in the division and is known by his peers as The Bone Dick. He handles all "bag of bone" cases found in San Bernardino County's twenty thousand square miles, at present, count 256 pending unsolved.
The story they all clamor for paves the gateway to hell. Itβs not the brushstrokes, composition, or her brilliant use of light and color. Itβs not the agonies underlying the paint or the dream of revealing something both momentous and simple with the sweep of the brush. Itβs just the damn story.
