Overview
When bodies start piling up and the list of suspects growing long, Detective Kawika Wong must dig into his own past to solve a Big Island murder.
Itās been twelve long years since Detective Kawika Wong was tasked with solving the brutal murder of the infamous real-estate developer Ralph Fortunatoāa case that led to more bodies than answers and a slew of complicated and ancient secrets, a case that made his career. Now, the once rookie detective is next in line to be Honoluluās next Chief of Police. But all is not well on OŹ»ahu or the Big Island.
For weeks, Kawika and his team have failed to catch an elusive serial killer known as the āSlasher.ā He strikes quickly and efficiently, and he doesnāt make mistakes. But when a freshly decapitated body is found at a previous dump site, Kawikaās gut tells him something isnāt quite right. Who is this victim, and why does Kawika feel that this one doesnāt belong to the Slasher?
To make matters worse, a hungry young journalist, ZoĆ« Akona, is investigating the questionable outcome Kawika and his then-superior Terry Tanaka produced in the Fortunato case, and her snooping leads to an official review that jeopardizes everything Kawikaās worked so hard for.
But Detective Wong knows that, no matter what, he must find a second murderer even while the āSlasherā continues to strike. The investigation takes him back to the Big Island ā and to the long-dormant case the reporter ZoĆ« Akona wonāt leave alone. Ā Kawika is about to discover what happens when the secrets of the past catch up with the promises of his future.
