The devil is in the details: the woman's nostrils, mouth, and lungs are packed with lava sand. Her hands are bound in twine. Her feet are charred and blackened, suggesting a fire-walking ceremony. Detective Kali Mαhoe's suspicions are immediately aroused. It has all the signs of a ritual torture and murder.But Kali's investigation soon leads her down a winding trail of seemingly unconnected clues and diverging paths--from the hanging tree itself, a rare rainbow eucalyptus, to rumors of a witch haunting the high areas of the forest, to the legend of the ancient Hawaiian sorceress Pahulu, goddess of nightmares. Casting a shadow over it all--the possibility of a Sitting God, a spirit said to invade and possess the soul. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women detectives $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Hawaii $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Bokur, Debra. $t Dark paradise mystery ; $v 3. 941 $a 7 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033459.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230613010216.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20230404021252.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230207012514.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220802011229.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220708010305.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220526010429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E5A7A50DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
