Orchids and Ice — Kay Hadashi

ORCHIDS AND ICEConvinced by her family and friends she needs some time away, June Kato takes her first vacation ever. After a redeye flight to paradise, she has a week to meditate, take long runs, and catch up on sleep in a convent lost deep in the rainforests of Hawaii. Trouble starts when she witnesses a brutal murder and goes to the police to give a witness statement. Only trying to be helpful, she finds herself caught in a thick soup of automatic weapons, corrupt police officials, meth lords, and ghosts. Trapped on the island, a jail cell looms in her near future. All she can do is find the murderer of a drug lord she almost spent the night with, for no other reason than to get her own life back.
