Publisher's Synopsis
A weekend adventure on a remote island in the middle of Kaneohe Bay is shattered by an audacious midnight theft of a boat. Just as Kensington Stone manages to organize the search, Teri White, Stone's partner, receives an urgent phone call from their friend, Pops Koa. His daughter, Viane, also Stone and Teri's dear friend, has apparently disappeared while hiking on the Island of Hawaii. The only clues found are a pickup truck, obviously hot-wired, and her hiking hat found far off a rugged trail on Mauna Loa.
Stone and Teri's instincts to help become necessarily conflicted: finding Viane is paramount and of utter urgency and finding their friend's boat an irrepressible tug of responsibility on Stone that he must balance.
While the search for the boat spreads and the hunt for Viane gains footing as the search party zeroes in on her likely whereabouts a sudden earthquake centered directly beneath where they suspect she is. Before they can reach her, Viane is pushed closer to certain death.
