About the book:
Dr. Peter Chesterfield is the top neurosurgeon at the Royal London
Hospital. He's also a workaholic, and after a blow-up with a colleague,
his boss orders him to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious
Elysium Grand on the island of Maui. During a midnight walk on the
beach, Peter pulls a woman with a skull fracture from the water. Despite
all his skill, she dies in his arms, leaving him with only one clue to
what happened to her: the word "honu."
Obsessed with finding the cause of his patient's death--discovering what or who ripped the power over life and death from his surgeon's hands--Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation. He also becomes a source of deep irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the case.
The reluctant pair join forces, diving deep into Maui's evolving gang culture, and unearth a conspiracy that runs deeper than either could have imagined. Knowing too much is deadly--and they must catch the killer before the killer catches them.

My review:
I loved the investigation piece to this book and thought it was funny that Peter inserted himself into it even when Lisa told him not to. He seemed like a good guy deep down but could be very off-putting and took a while to like. Lisa, on the other hand, was a great cop and could be tough when needed but didn't hold a grudge She was a Christian and Peter started to question his lack of faith. There was a lot of great action and a hint that there might be more stories to come! I look forward to it! I also absolutely loved that it was set in Hawaii! I recommend this story if you like investigations and suspense!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
