Poliahu's Payback — J.M. Calverley

Jealousy, lies, old loves, new loves. People change even if they look the same.

Hawaii is known for golden sand beaches and turquoise waters but with winter, comes snow on the sacred mountain of Mauna Kea.

Detectives Reef Kahili and Kalani Rogers of the Kona PD are investigating a suspicious death on the mountain.

At first it looks like Poli`ahu, the snow goddess might have just caught him unawares. But behind what looks like an innocent and unfortunate death is a whole host of people who had a bone to pick with the dead astronomer. Could it have been murder?

Reef's facing jealousy as a possible motive in the case, and also unexpectedly, on the home front. But what's a threat and what's not?

When a love burns hot and bright like Pele's lava, then turns to an ice-cold cloak of Poli'ahu's coldness, a twisted turn of events presents Reef with his biggest mystery to date on the Big Island of Hawaii.

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.
