Magic Dragon — Frederick Price

A kidnapping for ransom of a seven-year-old Chinese girl reunite retired Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes and Homicide Detective Sergeant Bob Stanny in a new investigation on the Island of Oahu. When the parents of an abducted seven-year-old girl ask retired Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes to find her, he is reluctant to become involved. But when they tell him their daughter is a diabetic and in need of medication, he agrees to do what he can -- with the condition that the FBI and local police are also brought into the case. However, as a recent arrival in paradise Belmontes is at a loss where to begin. It is then that his wife (Cassie) uses her knowledge of Oahu, its people, and the support of her extended family to help him unravel the first knot of the puzzle. What he discovers is a revelation that shakes him to the core, and one that no one but Belmontes believes is possible.
