BLURB:
The
Lei Crime Series is: Hawaii is palm trees, black sand and blue
water—but for policewoman Lei Texeira, there’s a dark side to
paradise. Lei has overcome a scarred past to make a life for herself
as a cop, but often the cases she works activate wounds and
complications from her tangled family history. Lei is affected deeply
by her cases even as she solves them with persistence, obsession, and
intuition. She falls in love with Michael Stevens, the charismatic
detective she works with, and they make a life solving crime in
contemporary Hawaii with all its beauty and deadliness.

Hidden
Poppies by M. L. Doyle
Nothing
about this kidnapping makes sense.
An
army colonel’s daughter isn’t a typical target, and that’s only
the beginning. FBI Special Agent Marcella Scott knows that ‘unusual’
also means unpredictable and that translates to dangerous.
Just
when they need to be at their sharpest, Agent Scott’s partner,
Special Agent Ken Yamada suffers from personal distractions. He’s
had to make painful sacrifices for his career. When the young girl’s
abduction brings him face to face with one of those sacrifices, Major
Chuck Mathews, Yamada begins to question his choices.
In
their desperate search for the girl, the agents face foes willing to
use deadly force to protect their secrets. But what was hidden before
can now be revealed and the truth could change everything.
Saddle
Road by J. L. Oakley
There's
more to Hawaii than pretty beaches.
When
a body shows up in Maui's Kahului Harbor, it looks like just another
bad day for some poor soul in paradise. Detective Lei Texeira and
Lieutenant Michael Stevens identify the victim as a well-respected
veteran from Washington State. Soon, they find themselves in the
middle of a charity scam where someone's skimming money meant for
returning veterans with PTSD. During the investigation, Stevens
enlists the help of an old buddy from the Marine Corps, Tom Harleson.
The clues lead Tom, Lei, and Stevens to an exotic animal hunting club
on the Big Island where they encounter the killer on the high lava
deserts of Saddle Road.
