KlappentextA haunted island brings American Samoan culture to life-and interlopers to their deaths-in this mystery from the author of Fire Knife Dancing. After the devastating loss of a loved one, Det. Sgt. Apelu Soifua retreats to the island of Ofu. The isolation of his father´s land-and drinking-bring a temporary peace to his shattered soul. His only friends are two national park workers and the local outcast who has lived in the bush for nearly twenty years-and who has to scared some palangi (Caucasian) surveyors away. But not for long . . . Attempting to heal at least part of his family-and himself-Apelu brings his oldest son, Sanele, to live with him. But their reunion is marred by the news that a company intends to build a resort hotel on the pristine To´aga beach. The locals know the island spirits have driven people away before-and they will again. When one of the developers is decapitated and his head goes missing, Apelu has a feeling that something has been awakened. And either human or supernatural, it won´t stop until it gets what it wants . . . A skillful, suspenseful novel. -The Providence Journal The author´s lyrical and factual evocation of Samoa enriches every part of the book it touches. Story, writing style, character, and culture all combine in John Enright´s Jungle Beat mysteries to form a series that I just can´t recommend highly enough. -Kittling: Books
