Stannard's exhaustive (and occasionally exhausting) study of the Massie rape case and the subsequent murder of one of the accused men, looks at the alleged crimes and trials with an ultra-wide lens that delves not only into whether the victim's story was true or whether Honolulu police participated in a frame-up, but also delves into the impact the trials had on the social, political, and economic structure of the islands.
