TROPICAL ESCAPE
Against her better judgment, a lonely young woman joins forces with the feds to investigate suspicious activities on the tropical Island of Lanai. Behind those activities are foreigners from a hermit kingdom that the US government would love to expose. Cloistered away from the rest of the world in the lap of luxury, are these strangers deceptive spies, organized crime gangsters, or simply visitors wanting privacy and quiet? No one comes to visit, they don't go out for sightseeing, and their rent is paid up for months in advance. With nothing to look forward to in her future, Keiko volunteers to lend a hand in finding out who they are.
Her first big job as a government asset, Keiko's pay for doing what seems like a simple job couldn't be better. She even gets trained up to the job by Homeland Security. As soon as she gets to Lanai with her new partner, Keiko discovers there is more to the job than meets the eye--much more. Trying to hide the fact she is working for a powerful agency, she gets far too involved with someone who should only be left alone. It isn't long before the simple job turns to dangerous international intrigue, and while Keiko's sense of morality is tested, the life of a city hangs in the balance.
Before she can call in help, ticking clock silence is broken by short bursts of gunfire, and dedication between new friends is tested in this boiling cauldron of suspense.
