Moloka'i Ashes (Paperback)


A moonless night on Moloka'i conceals two figures as they torch a coffee warehouse and set off an explosion of murder, kidnapping, blackmail, and insurance fraud. Ginger Akana, whose father was a full-blooded Hawaiian, has opened a Maui branch office of her Portland, Oregon-based insurance investigation firm, Akana Confidential. WorldWide Insurance hires her to investigate a claim on Moloka'i for the loss of Yamamoto Coffees' warehouse and its contents--huge bags of coffee beans. When a body is discovered in the rubble, the claim takes a more sinister turn. Ginger and her lover, Gary Opupele, a disabled former Maui County Police Detective now working for Akana Confidential, tour the arson site and meet with Manager Tommy Yamamoto. He is defensive about the warehouse coverage, which was doubled a week before the fire, and tells them to deal with his attorneys. Further complications are introduced when the insurance agent who wrote the policy avoids Ginger's efforts to examine the physical records in order to substantiate the coverage amount. His involvement in the arson scheme turns out to be only part of his criminal activities, which lead to more murders and extortion.
