A hurricane clips Oahu. While not a storm for the record books, it creates opportunities for some, and stirs up events from the past for others. Mudslides close roads and power goes out in Honolulu. The ground gives up skeletons from the past. Ghosts long forgotten. Are they ancient Hawaiians? Victims of an accident? Or victims of murder?Derrick and Pele are accumulating cases of dead and missing people faster than broken seashells on the beach after a storm. As they dig deeper, they uncover clues that a possible gang war is brewing. Derrick also learns that some of his friends are victims of retaliation for looking into his deceased wife's death. Instead of moving forward, at every turn Derrick is slipping backward. Every clue just leads to a new question.And if that weren't enough, a reporter searching for a good story wonders if Derrick, his partner, and the Chief of police are in on a conspiracy that goes back over sixty years. Are all these cases separate? Or, is someone pulling the strings from the shadows? Paradise has become anything but. You can find Julien's other works at www.julienrapp.com
