Things get deadly fast, and Sophie's friend, Detective Lei Texeira, takes the case.

"This thriller explores a little known and culturally important archeological site hidden under a baseball diamond in the center of Lahaina. Exhuming it could point a way forward to restoration of the town." Reviewer
"Neal's female leads are strong, fierce, independent, and fabulous although rough around the edges. She writes with such exquisite detail...immersing you in the island surroundings as though you are there. Exhilarating, suspenseful, thrilling, fast-paced, action-packed, easy flow, engaging, immersive, vulnerable, and scintillating." F. Thorn, reviewer
