With Murder You Get Sushi

Emma Jones, IT consultant, corpse magnet, and sometime sleuth doesn’t realize her assignment in Hawai‘i will be such a blastâ€"â€"until a car bomb deposits Yet Another Stiff in her path: Greg Walker, a loathsome Lothario and despised real estate developer. Suspects abound, including a former Miss Lentil Beauty Queen and the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. Complicating Emma’s snooping is a parade of visitors to Hawai‘i: her boyfriend Keoni, her best gal pal Stacey, and her mother armed with enough self-defense gizmos to hold off King Kamehameha's army. Paradise, it seems, abounds with evil. (Remember Eve and the snake?) Menacing notes and threatening tails have Emma taking evasive action and the endless conspiracy theories of Edvard, a paranoid co-worker, have her seeing “Them” at every turn. Will Emma’s snooping and shoot-from-the-hip interrogations bring the killer to justice, or just to ice her?
