Honolulu journalist Natalie Seachrist pursues an intriguing cold case of murder and larceny with the aid of her fleet-footed feline Miss Una, life partner private detective Ke`oni Hewitt, and his former partner, Lt. John Dias of the Honolulu Police Department. Was the murder of a gentle Buddhist minister at her altar and the ingenious theft of an ancient statue of the Shakyamuni Buddha prompted by religious zealousness or simple greed? An international auction, estate sale, pan-Pacific history and Japanese Buddhism, conjoin with the distinctive scenery, food, and multiculturalism of all of the Natalie Seachrist Hawaiian Mysteries.  As Natalie and her team pursue one of the last haunting cases faced by Ke`oni before he retired, the slim facts and Natalie’s complex visions lead them on a perplexing journey.
