Secret military weapons, saboteurs, a volcanic eruption—and a probe of Chief Detective Koa Kane’s criminal past
Synopsis:
On Hawaii Island, a volcanic earthquake disrupts an abandoned cemetery—unearthing the body of a woman mutilated by her killer to conceal her identity.
The search for her identity leads Hilo Hawaii’s Chief Detective Koa Kane to a mysterious defense contractor with a politically connected board of directors. Defying his chief of police, Koa pursues the killer, only to become entangled in an FBI espionage investigation of Deimos, a powerful secret military weapon. Is the FBI telling all it knows—or does it, too, have a duplicitous agenda?
At the same time, Koa—a cop who thirty years earlier killed his father’s nemesis and covered up the murder—faces exposure by the dead man’s grandson. Koa is forced to investigate his own homicide, and step by step, his cover-up unravels until another man is falsely accused.
Can Koa stand by and let an innocent man pay for his crime?
About the Series:
While all the novels in the Koa Kane Hawaiian Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is:
Treachery Times Two (this book)
Retribution ( coming out in 2023)
Review:
What do you do if while investigating another murder, you're called in to handle a historical murder case, BUT YOU know that you are actually the murderer in that case? It's an unique situation presented to Koa, and one he has to try to walk between, as he seeks answer both in the present and in the past, to determined why lies were told by those he didn't know were involved. Is he truly a murderer, or is there more to the story? Fans of the series will be rapidly turning the pages to find out, while those new to the store will be wondering what type of protagonist Koa is. For both it's an excellent read and well worth diving into the rest of the books over the holiday season as well!
