Kona Impure (Detective Rik Aorangi Book 1)

His solve rate's good—his relationships aren't. Things are heating up on the Big Island of Hawaii.

When Detective Rik Aorangi and his fellow fire dancer and partner, Detective Wally Faleafa are called out to a murder a little too close home, Rik’s got his hands full.

He’s dealing with a Kona coffee farmer found murdered in a mob-style hit, an explosive relationship at home, a glassblower who’s burning a hole in his heart, and now Pele, the fire goddess is throwing her weight around.

Explosive underlying tension is causing earthquakes everywhere and emotions are running high on the island.

Rik’s confronted with something he should have dealt with a long time ago. Now he's faced with what drives us all. Love and nurturing.

But what has Lars Petersen been nurturing in his life to bring about his death? Did he turn rogue in the fiercely protected 100 percent pure Kona industry or is someone protecting a piece of their heart?

Can he unravel the mystery of this murder, and also his own heart?

If you love a good murder mystery, 'ohana, the aloha spirit, and being immersed in the lush tropical feel of Hawaii, this adventure will appeal to you.
