A Walk Through the Fire
By Marcia Muller
ALOHA MURDER
Accidents are plaguing a documentary film crew on breathtakingly beautiful Kauai. Can San Francisco P.I. Sharon McCone ferret out possible sabotage behind the scenes? The job sounds like a breeze — McCone envisions romantic, tropical nights with her lover, Hy Ripinsky. Instead, she finds a troubled paradise with rising tensions between native and non-native Hawaiians, a film going south fast, and a macabre ritual death. Then a mysterious local pilot rattles her commitment to Hy, and soon McCone is in danger herself…caught in the place Hawaiians call “ahi wela maka’u”, the place between fire love and fire terror, the place where even a seasoned private eye can get burned.
