Say Aloha to Murder — Charlotte Williamson

The vacation to Hawaii was supposed to be a relaxing trip for Detective James Hardrock and his fiancA(c)e, Janet Gordon. But at dinner on their first night, two bodies literally fall into their laps. One is the prominent CEO of Wentworth Pharmaceuticals, the other, a scientist employed by Wentworth and married to a public figure: a high-profile politician who is sponsoring a bill in Congress that would limit the amount drug companies could charge for prescription medications. Although reluctant at first, Hardrock is finally persuaded by Honolulu Detective Jason Chan to aid in the investigation that exposes the scandalous secrets of one pharmaceutical company and its research scientists. In between interviewing suspects, Hardrock and Janet visit the beautiful scenery and attractions of Oahu. A mysterious accident hospitalizes Detective Chan, and Hardrock is officially offered the case. His acceptance causes a rift between him and Janet, and nearly costs Hardrock his life. Someone wants him dead and will stop at nothing to gain results. When a handsome stranger enters Janetas life, Hardrock is forced to re-examine his own feelings and desires concerning their relationship. During his probe into the murders, Hardrock learns that Janet has secrets of her own that, when uncovered, will change both their lives forever.
