Watermark Publishing has released Judge Sam King: A Memoir, a posthumously released book started by King and completed with the help of writers Jerry Burris and Ken Kobayashi.

King was a co-author of the original “Broken Trust” essay in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the subsequent book chronicling the mismanagement of the Bishop Estate by its trustees in the 1990s

King died in 2010 at the age of 94, at which time Gov. Neil Abercrombie called him “the heart and soul of Hawaii.” 

Copies will be available for purchase in local bookstores beginning this weekend and can be purchased online now.
