Murder in Paradise. Kealoha Hawaiian Thriller, #1

Justice is sacred. But so is blood. Detective Leilani Kealoha thought she'd left her family's secrets buried deep beneath the banyan roots of her Hawaiian childhood. But when a string of ritualistic murders erupts across O?ahu-each victim tied to disputed ancestral lands-Leilani is drawn into a dark labyrinth of corruption, conspiracy, and whispered legends the state would rather forget. As powerful elites broker backdoor deals and sacred land is sold to the highest bidder, Leilani must confront a truth older than the state itself-one entangled in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the unfinished business of justice.
In a paradise shadowed by history and hunted by a killer with a chilling purpose, Leilani must decide how far she's willing to go. and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect the soul of her people.
