One brutal murder ignites a war.Prepare to encounter a Hawaii you never knew existed - a place of poverty, racism, crime, violence, and militarism, all of which stoke the unrest of a deeply disenfranchised population. This is the world that Jack Devlin encounters in a remote area on the Big Island of Hawaii, when he investigates the savage murder of a homeless Vietnam vet. Why don't the police seem to care? Why are the suspects acting like they're above the law? Is it because the victim is a nobody? Maybe to some, but not to Jack Devlin. The victim, Billy Cranston, served with Jack Devlin in Vietnam. He not only saved Delvin's life, he changed Devlin's life forever. To Devlin, Billy Cranston is a true American hero, and his death is an abomination that will not go unavenged. In order to right this wrong, Devlin is going to have to face regrets from the past; grief, rage, and a deep sense of loss in the present; and go to war against an escalating series of powerful enemies. When Devlin sets out on this journey, nothing is certain except one thing - when it comes to righteous vengeance, Jack Devlin is going to follow one law - his.
