On Hawaii Island, an anonymous 911 caller reports a body at Pohakuloa, the Army's live-fire training area. 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. 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.

Terrible pronuciation
Revisado: 05-05-22
I'm sure I'm a little biased, being from the big island of Hawaii, but I couldn't handle the pronunciation of the local town names and had to quit halfway through the book. If you don't know how to pronounce any of the hawaiian island's names or town's names, then it might not be so bad. But to a local, it's the equivalent of pronouncing Tucsan Arizona "TUK-san".
The story itself isn't too bad, but there there is some suspension of belief for some character backgrounds. I'm sure it's to serve the story, but the last Prince Kamehameha was in the 1800's. There are other royal bloodlines still around and have way more difficult names, so I assume that's why the author decided to use the this one.
I may try the next book in the series simply because the narrator is different.
