In the lush, sundrenched heart of Hawaii, a killer stalks the shadows, leaving death and devastation in their wake. For Detective Leilani Kealoha, the hunt for this elusive murderer will test her skills, resolve, and understanding of the islands she calls home. "The Hibiscus Homicides: Blood and Blossoms in Paradise" is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense set against the vibrant backdrop of modern Hawaii. When a series of brutal murders rocks the islands, each crime scene adorned with the haunting signature of a blood-red hibiscus, Leilani finds herself drawn into a web of darkness and deception that threatens to consume everything she holds dear. As the body count rises and the killer's methods grow more twisted, Leilani must navigate a complex landscape of cultural tensions, ancient traditions, and deep-seated corruption to uncover the truth. With the help of her tech-savvy partner, Kai Nakamura, she follows a trail of clues that will lead her from the glittering high-rises of Honolulu to the mist-shrouded valleys of the outer islands, all the while racing against the clock to stop the murderer before they can strike again. But as Leilani delves deeper into the mystery, she begins to suspect that the killer's motives are far more sinister than simple violence. The hibiscus, a symbol of power and royalty in Hawaiian culture, hints at an agenda rooted in the island's tumultuous history and the simmering resentments of a people struggling to preserve their way of life in the face of relentless change. To catch the killer and bring them to justice, Leilani will have to confront the darkness in others and the shadows lurking within herself. She will have to draw on all of her strength, all of her knowledge of Hawaiian culture and tradition, to unmask the twisted soul behind the hibiscus murders and restore balance to the islands she has sworn to protect.Steeped in the richness of Hawaiian mythology and the complexities of island life, "The Hibiscus Homicides" is a story of resilience, redemption, and the enduring power of ohana (family) in the face of unimaginable evil. It is a must-read for fans of atmospheric thrillers, multicultural mysteries, and anyone who has ever dreamed of paradise... and wondered what darkness might lurk beneath the surface

The dramatic history of America's tropical paradise The history of Hawaii may be said to be the story of arrivals—from the eruption of volcanoes on the ocean floor 18,000 feet below, the first hardy seeds that over millennia found their way to the islands, and the confused birds blown from their migratory routes, to the early Polynesian adventurers who sailed across the Pacific in double canoes, the Spanish galleons en route to the Philippines, and the British navigators in search of a Northwest Passage, soon followed by pious Protestant missionaries, shipwrecked sailors, and rowdy Irish poachers escaped from Botany Bay—all wanderers washed ashore, sometimes by accident. This is true of many cultures, but in Hawaii, no one seems to have left. And in Hawaii, a set of myths accompanied each of these migrants—legends that shape our understanding of this mysterious place. In Paradise of the Pacific, Susanna Moore, the award-winning author of In the Cut and The Life of Objects, pieces together the elusive, dramatic story of late-eighteenth-century Hawaii—its kings and queens, gods and goddesses, missionaries, migrants, and explorers—a not-so-distant time of abrupt transition, in which an isolated pagan world of human sacrifice and strict taboo, without a currency or a written language, was confronted with the equally ritualized world of capitalism, Western education, and Christian values.

James Lee Burke’s second Robicheaux novel takes the detective out of New Orleans and into the bayou as he seeks a quieter life. Vietnam vet Dave Robicheaux has turned in his detective’s badge, is winning his battle against booze, and has left New Orleans with his wife for the tranquil beauty of Louisiana’s bayous. But a plane crash on the Gulf brings a young girl into his life—and with her comes a netherworld of murder, deception, and homegrown crime. Suddenly Robicheaux is confronting Bubba Rocque, a brutal hood he’s known since childhood; Rocque’s hungry Cajun wife; and a Federal agent with more guts than sense. In a backwater world where a swagger and a gun go further than the law, Robicheaux and those he loves are caught on a tide of violence far bigger than them all...

"A wonderful introduction the Japanese tradition of jisei, this volume is crammed with exquisite, spontaneous verse and pithy, often hilarious, descriptions of the eccentric and committed monastics who wrote the poems." --Tricycle: The Buddhist Review Although the consciousness of death is, in most cultures, very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing jisei, or the "death poem." Such a poem is often written in the very last moments of the poet's life. Hundreds of Japanese death poems, many with a commentary describing the circumstances of the poet's death, have been translated into English here, the vast majority of them for the first time. Yoel Hoffmann explores the attitudes and customs surrounding death in historical and present-day Japan and gives examples of how these have been reflected in the nation's literature in general. The development of writing jisei is then examined--from the longing poems of the early nobility and the more "masculine" verses of the samurai to the satirical death poems of later centuries. Zen Buddhist ideas about death are also described as a preface to the collection of Chinese death poems by Zen monks that are also included. Finally, the last section contains three hundred twenty haiku, some of which have never been assembled before, in English translation and romanized in Japanese.

A comet in the mounting firmament of third-world, non-white, female writers, Edwidge Danticat stands apart. An accomplished trilingual children's and YA author, she is also an activist, op-ed and cinema writer, and keynote speaker. Much of her work introduces the world to the cultural uniqueness of Haiti, the first black republic, and the elements of African heritage, language, and Vodou that continue to color all aspects of the island's art and self-expression. This companion provides an in-depth look into the world and writings of Danticat through A-Z entries. These entries cover both her works and the prevalent themes of her writing, including colonialism, slavery, superstition, adaptation, dreams and coming of age. It also provides a biography of Danticat, a list of 32 aphorisms from her fiction, a guide to the names and histories of the real places in her fiction, lesson planning aids, and a robust glossary offering translations and definitions for the many Creole, French, Japanese, Latin, Spanish, and Taino terms in Danticat's writing.
