I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it. I picked up Death of a Messenger because I needed a book set in Hawaii for one of the reading challenges I’m doing. Will Hilo's most respected detective stop this sadistic fiend-or will the Pohakuloa killer strike again, with even deadlier consequences? Koa races to discover whether the victim stumbled upon a gang of high-tech archaeological thieves, or learned a secret so shocking it cost him his life and put others in mortal danger. 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. 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. On Hawaii Island, an anonymous 911 caller reports a body at Pohakuloa, the Army's live-fire training area. Journey deep into the exotic locales of Hawaii's Big Island to discover its language, culture-and crime Published by Oceanview Publishing on (first published November 24, 2014)
