Book description
Some nasty predators dwell in paradise, and they aren't all hiding in
the azure waters. The day attorney Storm Kayama arrives in Kahului to
help Lara Farrell set up her new dive shop, someone bombs a restaurant.
When one of Lara's employees, a recent Japanese immigrant, kills himself
and one of his young daughters, Storm begins to ask questions. The
tentacles of the Yakuza, the dangerous, Japanese organized crime group,
grip local businesses, real estate, and politics. Cunning and deadly,
the clan leaders exploit underage women and eliminate anyone who dares
face up to them. Storm finds herself up against a lethal and faceless
enemy, in a place where disposing of a victim is easy as dumping her in
shark-infested waters. But who is hunting whom? In a struggle to the
death, Storm begins to realize that surviving doesn't always mean
living. For some, the ghosts of the past may be more painful than the
anguish of the present. Hawaii lawyer Storm Kayama must find a friend's
diabetic son and uncover what he knows about his mother's murder before
her murderers catch up with the boy. Some nasty predators dwell in
