First in a Samoan-set series featuring police officer Apelu
Soifua: “Enright’s portrait of cultural collision is the
heart of this engaging series debut.” —Booklist  The
city of Tafuna may be located on a tropical paradise, but it’s no
stranger to crime. Just like anywhere else in the world, it has its
fair share of murder, drugs, and robbery. Which makes Apelu Soifua
the perfect man for his job. He’s a cop of two worlds: San
Francisco, where he started his career, and now his native
Samoa.  Following up on a routine burglary call,
Apelu heads to a palangi, or Caucasian, neighborhood. The
victim, a VP at SeaKing Tuna—the largest employer on the
island—reports only a few items missing. But a fatal shooting at
a nightclub a few days later points Apelu to the executive’s
hard-partying daughter. With some help from local reporter Lupe,
Apelu chases a wave of violence that stems from the burglary—and
seeks out what really went missing. The investigation
puts Apelu in over his head and is about to be dragged
under . . .  “Perfect for any
armchair traveling mystery lover. Enright’s descriptions of the
Samoan landscape—where the frigate birds are as much a part of
the sky as the clouds—are vivid and poetic.” —Kittling: Books
 “Enright meticulously interweaves the experience and
landscapes of Samoa’s mountains, rain forests and jungles that he
knows so well.” —Providence Journal  “The island
setting is a terrific backdrop for the story, one that has Soifua
bridging the cultural chasm between the local population and the
American community.” —Mysterious Reviews Â
