The Untold Story of the Massie Case. It was the case that had it all—murder and intrigue, white supremacy in an island paradise, and a courtroom drama featuring the great Clarence Darrow himself. Set in Prohibition-era Hawaii, the Massie Affair captivated the entire country, as it laid bare the deep social ills behind the Territory’s idyllic facade.

But was there more to the story? A half-century after the case closed, a federal agent with first-hand knowledge of the crime shared his own tale with author John Madinger, providing the inspiration for Pipe Dreams—an intriguing new twist on the case that changed Hawaii forever.
