Angels Fall
Acerca deste libro electrónico
Retired LAPD detective Mike Travis has put thousands of miles between himself and his former life by sailing to Kona, Hawaii, where he runs a private yacht charter business and co-owns a coffee farm. But once a cop, always a cop—especially when someone he cares about needs his help.
When a local girl goes missing, her fundamentalist parents don't even file a report. She is eighteen, after all, and seems to be rebelling against her strict upbringing. But Travis knows the dangers that lurk for young women. On an island trying to keep its traditions from being eroded by outside forces, a perfect storm of misguided morality, malice, and murder threatens the most innocent among them. And Travis will do everything in his power to turn the tide . . .
"The contrast between the dark and sometimes lurid environment in which Mike finds himself and the nearly idyllic image that many people have of the islands is almost surreal and stylishly accomplished . . . As a suspense thriller with a number of unexpected plot twists, it works well." — Mysterious Reviews
