Malia tells her that three women have gone missing from Maui in the last week. They think the yakuza are involved, and she’s hoping Gemi’s insider information regarding the group will help take down the kidnapping ring.
Then things get personal. A resident from the women’s and children’s shelter Gemi and her sister run becomes the fourth to be abducted.
And when a ghost from Gemi’s past shows up outside the shelter and is kidnapped before her eyes, Gemi can’t stop herself from searching for these women. Even if that means stepping back into the crime world. Something she swore she’d never do.
Mystery and fantasy author Shawn McGuire loves creating characters and places her fans want to return to again and again. She started writing after seeing the first Star Wars movie (that's episode IV) as a kid. She couldn't wait for the next installment to come out so wrote her own. Sadly, those notebooks are long lost, but her desire to tell a tale is as strong now as it was then. She lives in Wisconsin near the beautiful Mississippi River and when not writing or reading, she might be baking, crafting, going for a long walk, or nibbling really dark chocolate.
