What happens when someone is popular? They get murdered.

Hawaii has many popular tourist destinations: Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Mall, Diamond Head, and the viewpoint at the Nu'uanu Pali. The 'Pali' as it's known locally is at the summit of the highway that crosses from one side of Oahu to the other, affording visitors magnificent views of lush green mountains and the vast blue ocean. It was that view that a young woman would've enjoyed when she went over the cliff to her death. The big question for police detectives to answer is if she jumped, fell, or was pushed over.

With no suspects and few clues to work with, young police investigator Davina Bautista begins finding more bodies sprinkled around the island that all seem to be related to the first. But when a rather unpopular publisher of smut in found dead in his own bed, and the other victims seemed to have crossed paths with him, the heat to find the culprit is turned up. It isn't long before more clues surface, with victims in the morgue pointing at each other as suspects. When the fog of confusion eventually clears, Detective Bautista finds the real direction she needs to follow, and where it leads isn't pretty.

Hawaii, say goodbye to Maile Spencer.
