A weekend adventure on a remote island in the middle of Kaneohe Bay is shattered by an audacious midnight theft of a boat. Just as Kensington Stone manages to organize an all-island searchTeri White, Stone’s partner, receives an urgent phone call from Pops. Their friend and Pops daughter, Viane Koa, has disappeared while hiking on the Island of Hawaii and the only clues they have are a pickup truck that had been hot-wired and a hiking hat found far off trail on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Stone and Teri’s instincts to help become necessarily divided: on one hand they want to help their friend find his boat, feeling somewhat responsible for his loss, but on the other hand locating Viane is of primary and utter urgency. While the search for the missing boat and for Viane advance and gains footing a sudden earthquake rolls across the Big Island pushing Viane closer to certain death.

Stone Spicer spent his early years living in a host of cities across Canada, the United States, and Australia. In 1960, a teenager on his own, he migrated to Hawaii, fell in love with the Islands and its people, and adopted it as a home for the next forty-five plus years. He married a Hawaiian-Japanese girl he met at the University of Hawaii and, with a degree in business, enjoyed a successful thirty-year career in the printing industry in Honolulu while he and his wife raised their two sons. He moved on to earn his license as a massage therapist in Hilo, Hawaii, and then to engage in fine art sales in the Pacific Northwest. During this time, he was developing a love for writing.
Stone enjoys breathing life into his characters and situations. His writing reflects a determination to resurrect the treasured places of old Hawaii that he knew and loved, places that succumbed to the ravages of time, to the rewriting of landscapes as a result of Madam Pele’s eruptions and to the onslaught of the developer’s bulldozers. These treasured places out of the past are woven into the fibers of his stories.
