The year is 1986 in the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic mosaic that is Hawaii. Poison in Paradise is about power politics, crime arrogance, cover-ups, the media, and the inner working of a legislature. It is set at a time when the environmental movement was just learning to challenge the growing appetite for development and profit. Follow the inner thoughts and maneuvers of rival legislators, and how the world of the state capitol is interwoven with the corporate appetites of a declining agricultural industry, the state of the media and how it covered public affairs before the arrival of the Internet.Main CharactersRamsey Bingham - Chair of the Board of the Sandwich Isles Chemical Corp.Carleton Brent - London based Insurance mogulEastland Bridges - a Hawaii State SenatorMei-Ling Bridges - wife of Senator Eastland BridgesFlora Garcia - Children affected by possible pollutionStephani Harrison- Carleton Brent's personal assistantBetsy Ito - Office Manager for Eastland BridgesBarbara Lum - TV ReporterBobby Martin - State SenatorRandall Ogawa - State Senator, close friend of Helen TokugawaByron Park - Honolulu detectiveMichael Robinson - former staff for Bridges, State RepresentativeSteven Sinclair - private investigatorHelen Tokugawa - Former staff for Eastland Bridges, State SenatorBill Wilcox - Plantation FormanThelma Winters - Native Hawaiian; Chair, Leeward Community Action Coalition
