HONOLULU HEAT, Between the Mountains and the Great Sea--the long-awaited sequel to CRY OHANA--brings back the same Hawaii families that readers so warmly embraced. With fiery emotions, they face new torments and find new loves.
Leilani and Alex Wong anguish over their son, Noah, an idealistic teenager who teeters on both sides of the law. He meets Nina, his dream girl, and they unwittingly share horrific secrets. Facing a murder charge, Noah flees and finds himself immersed in a bloody feud between a Chinatown protection racketeer and a crimeland don who, ironically, is Nina's father.
Violence targets innocent real estate agents, a Porsche Boxster Spyder, a stolen locket, a petty thief, and an odd pair on a freighter to Southeast Asia. Two mob leaders and the police are pursuing Noah. Torn between loyalty and betrayal, only the boy can unlock his own freedom and bring peace to his family--and Honolulu's Chinatown.
