<p>A Serial Killer Plagues an Island Paradise<br /><br />Vigilante detective Emily Stone continues her covert pursuits to find serial killers and child abductors, all under the radar while shadowing police investigations.<br /><br />Emily searches for an abducted nine-year-old girl taken by ruthless and enterprising slave brokers. Following the clues from California to the garden island of Kauai, she begins to piece together the evidence and ventures deep into the jungle.<br /><br />It doesnβt take long before Emily is thrown into the middle of murder, mayhem, and conspiracy. Locals arenβt talking as a serial killer now stalks the island, taking women in a brutal frenzy of ancient superstitions and folklore. Local cops are unprepared for what lies ahead. In a race against the clock, Emily and her team must identify the killer before time runs out.</p>

<p>Leanne McGinty, Ahgoo Review<br />"What could be more original than a story about princesses, pirates and aliens? Very <a href="http://ahgooreview.com/2011/07/pigs-nosy-crow-summer-price/"><font color="#d00000">little</font></a>, which is why I ranked this as a 4 [out of 5]. It was a love recap of a day in the life of children and I think children <a href="http://ahgooreview.com/2011/07/babies/"><font color="#d00000">everywhere</font></a> will relate to this <a href="http://ahgooreview.com/2011/07/lemonman/"><font color="#d00000">book</font></a>."<br /><br />Janette Fuller, JanetteFuller.com<br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">"I really like the theme of this book. Children should be encouraged to use their imaginations and explore creative outlets."</span></p>
