The victim is Sarah Jones, a young woman from the mainland who had been working on a Kona coffee farm. She was found dead in the early morning hours, her body bearing the marks of a violent struggle. Rik quickly determines that Sarah was murdered, and he sets out to find her killer.

Rik's investigation takes him into the dark underbelly of Kona. He uncovers a world of drugs, prostitution, and violence. He also encounters a cast of characters who are as complex and contradictory as Rik himself.

There's Kona Frank, a local drug dealer who is both a friend and a foe to Rik. There's Kahea, a beautiful and enigmatic woman who may know more about Sarah's murder than she's letting on. And there's Father Michael, a priest who is struggling with his own demons.

As Rik gets closer to the truth, he finds himself in danger. He is threatened, beaten, and even shot at. But Rik is not a man who gives up easily. He is determined to find Sarah's killer, no matter what the cost.
