Description

Paradise is fighting a battle of extinction.

And someone is hunting the hunters.

A poacher's death in the cloud forest on Maui draws Detective Lei Texeira into a bizarre case in a rare setting highlighting the peril of Hawaii's native birds.

They deserve to die for what they've done.

A killer with a conscience will stop at nothing to save the lives of birds on the brink of extinction.

Lei pursues the case with her usual leap-first, look-later style, but can she catch a killer and still make it to her own wedding?

"Toby Neal creates a captivating balance between  the beauty of the islands contrasted with the ugliness of murder, and complicated by the trials of Detective Lei's personal life. A must-read!" Thomas K. Matthews, author of Rejection

Grab this fast paced mystery with a twist of romance, and take a trip to Hawaii with the series that's sold more than a million copies!

    Like most books in a series the last ones aren’t as good as the first ones. I won’t be buying any more anytime soon. No one can continue to be a cop and get written up and/or charged with a crime as much as Lei.

    This is really an exceptional story. From the first page I had to keep reading. The story just flows along. Add the beautiful descriptions of the native birds and forest. The murders just top it all off. Very much worth the read!!

    This is the 6th Lei mystery that I have read, which kind of says it all. I love Hawaii and Toby Neal's writing makes me feel like I am there again. I have the next two Lei books and am ready to read on.

    I’ve read several of the lexihanl books and have enjoyed them immensely. I always look for them in my online book club. You do a masterful job pulling the reader in. Kudos to you. Janey Griffith

    Congrats you had me at the first book and so far I’ve delay any other books purchases till I finish this series. As a father of a daughter that live in the Islands of Hawaii for the past 8years (Ewa Beach) and a proud timeshare owner for the past 18 Year’s (Maui) your characters (all of them) have remained Hawaiian thru and thru and combined with such realistic criminal plots within the Islands best interest, you ROCK! P.S. My wife of 48years and I have travel the world but always return to our favorite Island of Maui. See you in May. Mahalo
