| Sumario: | "Private Detective David 'Kawika' Apana has hit rock bottom. Divorced and broke, he gambles all and wins in a game of high stakes poker, then trades in his winnings for a boat, which becomes his new home and office. His first client is a woman with a missing daughter, Caroline 'Kay' Johnson, a budding filmmaker and Hawaiian activist and daughter of Lino Johnson, a petty criminal who had been murdered in Honolulu's Chinatown 18 years earlier. Apana learns that Kay's boyfriend is also missing--believed to be with her. Apana's search leads him to Oahu's Windward Coast, the fabled North Shore, and places beyond, where he learns that nothing is as it seems. Actual scandals and events are integrated into the plot. Hawaiʻi is evoked as well, as a place where the hauntingly beautiful and hauntingly tragic are constantly juxtaposed"-- |
