Pilikia Is My Business

Pilikia means "trouble" in the Hawaiian language and pilikia is exactly what private investigator, Val Lyon, finds on the mean streets of Honolulu. What starts off as a simple assignment to find a young boy who is the object of a custody battle turns into a fight for survival as death threats come in and bodies drop.

Val's task pits her against a prominent feminist activist, a politically-connected clergyman, and a powerful local family. The case takes Val from the canyons of downtown Honolulu to the leper colony of Molokai and back with a killer dogging her footsteps the entire way.
