Synopsis

"...a fast-paced mystery brimming with the beauty and culture of Hawaii...with characters as memorable as a sunset on the beach." -Margaret Coel, author of The Drowning Man Tanner Williams has asked Storm Kayama to come to Moloka'i to make sure his ex-wife Jenny is taking good care of his diabetic son, Luke. Meanwhile, Storm's law partner and lover, Ian Hamlin, is investigating whether a Moloka'i kayaking company was negligent when the son of an O'ahu shipping magnate disappeared. It looks like a great excuse for Storm and Hamlin to get away from Honolulu for the weekend. But just hours after Storm's visit to Jenny's home, 12-year-old Luke finds his mother dead. Luke calls the police and disappears. Will Storm find Luke in time? Is Jenny's death somehow related to the kayaking incident? Deborah Turrell Atkinson lives in Honolulu, Hawaii, with her husband and two children. Fire Prayer is third in her Storm Kayama mystery series, after Primitive Secrets and The Green Room, a Booksense Notable Book for 2005. www.debbyatkinson.com
