Someoneâ€™s found a body at Pohakuloa, the armyâ€™s live-fire training area. Bearing all the marks of ancient ritual sacrificeâ€”theÂ murder is the grisliest of Detective Koa Kane's career. The bizarre case draws Koa deep into his own Hawaiian roots.

Did the victim stumble upon a gang of high-tech archaeological thieves? Or did he learn aÂ secret so shocking it cost him his life and put others, too, in mortal danger? Will Hiloâ€™s most respected native detective catch this fiend in time, or will the killer strike againâ€”with even deadlier consequences?
