About this listen
Having killed his father's nemesis and gotten away with it, Hilo, Hawai`i Chief Detective Koa Kane is not your ordinary cop. Estranged from his younger brother who has been convicted of multiple crimes, he is not from a typical law enforcement family. Yet, Koa's secret demons fuel his unwavering drive to pursue justice. Never has Koa's motivation been greater than when he learns that an elementary school was placed atop a volcanic vent, which has now exploded.
The subsequent murders of the school's contractor and architect only add urgency to his search for the truth. As Koa's investigation heats up, his brother collapses in jail from a previously undiagnosed brain tumor. Using his connections, Koa devises a risky plan to win his brother's freedom. As Koa gradually unravels the obscure connections between multiple suspects, he uncovers a 40 year-old conspiracy.
When he is about to apprehend the perpetrators, his investigation suddenly becomes entwined with his brother's future, forcing Koa to choose between justice for the victims and his brother's freedom.

Story
On Hawaii Island, an anonymous 911 caller reports a body at Pohakuloa, the Army's live-fire training area. Hilo Chief Detective Koa Kane, a cop with his own secret criminal past, finds a mutilated corpse - bearing all the hallmarks of ancient ritual sacrifice. He encounters a host of obstacles as he pursues the murderer - an incompetent local medical examiner, hostility from both haoles (Westerners) and sovereignty advocates, and a myriad of lies.

Story
Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

Under a promising morning sky, police captain Walter Alaka'i makes a tragic discovery: the body of a teenage surfer bobbing among the lava rocks of Maui's southeastern shore. It appears to be an ill-fated accident, but closer inspection reveals something far more sinister than the results of a savage wave gone wrong. Now that Alaka'i is looking at a homicide, he solicits the help of his niece, Detective Kali Mahoe.

The horror of an elementary school blown up by a fierce lava blow starts this tale of greed and corruption. Police detective Koa Kane is a complex man with lots of demons that torture him, but he is a driven and dedicated cop. He is also big brother to a career criminal with no conscience. But it turns out that the brother has had a slow growing brain tumor in the frontal lobe which was discovered while in prison. That's how it all starts, but it goes on through several conspiracies, including one from 1975! Great but wrenching read with realistic characters and a real sense of the problems Hawai'i faces. Fantastic read!
Francis G. Kearney is a great narrator for police novels and especially this series!

Detective Koa is on the job!
This is book 3 in the series based on the Big Island, Hawaii. Chief Detective Koa Kāne is investigating the deaths of several children and trachers when a volcanic vent, on which the school was built, exploded. When ppl involved in the school construction start dying, Koa begins to unravel a complicated connection that leads back to decades. While this case takes a little bit longer to build, it is still a great story. Throw in the detective’s personal struggle with his incarcerated youngest brother and you stay engaged. I enjoy this series especially since I love the Big Island and am familiar with most of the popular locations that are woven into the story.
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
