They say blood is thicker than water, but for Jessica Kealoha, blood has only brought war to paradise.
When her father dies in an alleged plane accident, the LA detective returns home to the islands to find his pristine Hawaiian resort under siege. On one front, the Chinese Triads plot to demolish her family's land to erect a casino empire. And her own long-estranged relatives, leaders of the ruthless Japanese Yakuza, have come out swinging in a gang war that has turned the white sands of paradise blood red.
As the bullets fly and bodies drop, Jessica discovers the ugly truth - her father was murdered. With the Chinese mob intent on forcing Jessica to sell her father's resort by any means necessary, she comes face to face with the family she left behind so long ago.
Now her only allies are killers with their own dark motives, locked in an escalating turf war that threatens to turn Hawaii into a gangster's paradise. To survive amidst the escalating chaos and exact justice for her murdered father, Jessica must navigate an impossible gauntlet, walking the knife's edge between cop and killer as this island idyll becomes a battleground.
Is there no safe harbor left for her, or for the soul of Hawaii, amidst the spreading DEATH IN PARADISE?
Infused with the rich culture of Hawaii and the nuanced shades of gray that color its criminal underground, DEATH IN PARADISE is equal parts gripping crime drama and lush tropical noir.
If you like complex heroines, diverse ensemble casts, and hard-boiled action against a unique backdrop, then grab your favorite beverage and submerge yourself in this electrifying page-turner today.
