Surf’s up . . . and so are the stakes when veterinarian and
amateur sleuth Jessica Popper escapes to the land of hula,
hibiscus, and geckos for a professional conference. The
last time she and boyfriend Nick Burby touched down on the
island of Hawaii, Nick caused a volcanic eruption when he
unexpectedly popped The Question to commitment-phobic Jess.
But this trip proves just as dangerous when Jess befriends
an ambitious young reporter whose body later washes up on
the sand . . . and someone thinks Jess holds the clue to
the killer’s motive.
There’s no end of suspects among the exotic flora and
fauna, from the victim’s journalistic rivals and a mystery
boyfriend to an eccentric beachcomber and a governor’s aide
with ties to a controversial biotech firm bringing progress
to paradise. One of them is a killer with the chameleon-
like ability to stay hidden—and if Jessica doesn’t uncover
hula-dunnit in time, she’ll be saying aloha . . .
permanently.
