Pele's Fire Rick Ludwig

Evil has come to paradise. Can Keone and Angela stop the murderous rampage?
Now partners, Keone Boyd and Angela Beyers investigate the brutal murder of a minor minion in the Maui drug scene. Echoes of their former cases inform suspect lists and punctuate their personal and professional interactions. Two private people find themselves discussing vital personal issues while pursuing an explosive trail of murder and mayhem.
Keone and Angela are challenged by a tangled web of intersecting investigations populated with multiple perpetrators, allies, and targets. Keone's grandmother warns him that the most powerful of the Hawaiian gods, Pele, is waking from her slumber to confront an ancient evil threatening their beautiful island home.
From Italy and Greece to Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii, a mysterious murderer stalks victims on land and sea--a murderer so formidable that even the combined skills of sergeants Beyers and Boyd, Europol, and the FBI might not be enough to stop the killing.
