Death on Diamond Head (A Kimo Rigg Mystery)

"Death on Diamond Head" is a murder-mystery novel introducing the character of Honolulu police detective Kimo Rigg, a veteran cop whose career has been sidetracked by a whistleblower lawsuit. Rigg has been relegated to the Unsolved Crimes department in the bowels of the precinct headquarters. He is trying to stay out of trouble when he finds himself in hot water once again: A murder victim's body is dumped almost on the doorstep of his new house at Diamond Head. Five years earlier, a series of brutal slayings had torn Honolulu apart. When the bodies of young girls started turning up at island beach parks, HPD pulled out all the stops to catch the man they called the Double-Crosser. When their prime suspect was found dead and the killings abruptly stopped, everyone had figured the case was closed. Now, Rigg isn't so sure. The latest killing has all of the Double Crosser's trademarks, and there's another tie to the old case; the victim was a key witness against their old suspect. That's one too many coincidences for Rigg, who now must follow a twisting path into the dark heart of a case no one wants reopened.
