"Davison was a nightmare student--an obnoxious, entitled, cheating suckup. In a twist of fate that might seem hilarious if it happened to someone else, he was now my stepson."

Professor Molly Barda is looking forward to a quiet summer in Mahina, Hawaii working on her research and trying to start a family with her new husband. But when a murder happens close to home, Molly wonders what she's married into--and realizes she might have a killer under her roof.

If you're in the mood for a murder in Hawaii, you'll enjoy this tale of passion, paternity, and pawn shops in the middle of the Pacific.
