Bitter Feast

The farm-to-table food movement in Hawaii can be luscious, exotic... murder.

Lieutenant Michael Stevens investigates a murder in a fine dining restaurant on Maui that's a Feast of possible motives, with jealousy, passion and revenge topping the menu. A host of familiar characters, from Jared Stevens to Dr. Wilson, chime in from their perspectives, each contributing essential information to one of the most complex cases Stevens has encountered-but that's nothing compared to imminent parenthood with his wife Lei, who'd rather be packing a gun than a diaper bag.
