Publisher's Synopsis
When renowned art history professor Miki Ai'Lee returns home to Hawaii after 12 years, she runs into her first love, Alex, who bears scars he is unwilling to explain. He tracks art and temple thieves in the steamy jungles of Southeast Asia. She thrives in the high-society glamour of art collectors. Now her grandmother is ready to share their family's darkest secret, if only Miki will listen. When the old world of tradition and the new world of opportunity collide-forcing Miki to choose between the man she loves and the heritage that holds her-she finds that the whispers of tradition are once again at odds with her own desires. Even worse, Miki and Alex's families have known each other for four generations. Four generations of animosity and death, corrupt politics, and international murder.
