The Old Queen and The King

By Michael Herr

In this sixth book of the Kohala Coast Mystery series, a mother from Kauai grieves for the death of her daughter and the theft of her treasured Elvis remembrance. She follows the killer's trail to the Big Island, there to bring the women of the Pono family into her search. But the women of the Pono family have other problems of their own. Day by day they watch the matriarch of the family, Haunani, drift further and further away into the abyss of dementia. Teri Pono is attracted to her martial arts teacher, but he is drawn aside by concerns with his Hawaiian Soverignty group.
