An omnibus of novels by J E Trent
Death in Paradise
In paradise nothing is simple...
...not even murder.
For Jessica, this time it's personal.
The knock at the door shook her from a deep sleep. When she saw the cops, Jessica knew why they were there. As a LA Detective, she'd been on the other side of the door plenty of times.
Someone she loved was dead.
Time slowed. Her heart sank. They knew she knew.
Before they could get to the news, her mind raced. Growing up in Hawaii, half of her family in law enforcement and the other half gang members, she'd known the darker side of life.
As the detectives explained why they'd come, Jessica was only partly listening until they said it was her father who'd died...
...in a plane wreck.
And in that moment, the instinct to grieve was gone. He was meticulous in his maintenance. She didn't believe it was an accident.
Who murdered her father?
Jessica was going home to Hawaii.
You'll love this gripping thriller with a taste of romance, because of the twists, turns, and complex characters.
Death Orchid
Revenge and greed...a deadly combination in paradise.
The hunter becomes the hunted in this chilling Hawaii thriller.
Over twenty years as an LA cop will do things to you. It's called PTSD. But moving to Hawaii for the sun, sand and a billionaire boyfriend would fix it. At least that's what Jessica Kealoha kept telling herself.
But a Russian assassin wants revenge for the death of his brother at the hands of Jessica. When he can't kill her, he kidnaps her newly adopted son. The only way to save the boy...is to kill herself.
What happens when you rip-off the bad guys?
Ivan Volkov hacked a couple of bank accounts, owned by the Russian mob. He's hunting Jessica and the Russians are hunting them both.
You won't be able to put down this addictive book, in a "who's killing who" on the Big Island. The Death in Hawaii series...beautiful...deadly...and compelling.
The Kona Strangler
A Hawaiian serial-killer thriller that will make you think twice about ever being alone.
A clear blue ocean, sandy white beaches–and five dead real estate agents.
On the Big Island of Hawaii, sleepy Kona has become the hunting grounds for a serial killer. With little faith in the local PD's limited resources, and before they find another body, the governor calls in retired LAPD detective Jessica Kealoha to join the serial killer task force.
Jessica quickly butts heads with the mayor of the island who is demanding results and questioning her tactics.
When the killer sends a letter to the newspaper with details of her best friend's murder long ago–a chilling connection becomes a reality that Jessica can't live with.
Death Tide
A thrilling family tale of murder and intrigue in Paradise.
Kailua Kona, Hawaii. Retired detective Jessica Kealoha finds herself in the murder trial of her sister Pua and rife with guilt because she's being forced to testify against her.
Many in town have already decided Pua's guilt and only see the trial as a formality before they send her to prison for life. Jessica discovers that there is more to the story than meets the eye and must find the evidence that will free her sister before it's too late.
