On a month-long hiatus in Hawaii after his last investigation, John Bekker is called back to action when his close friend Sheriff Jane Morgan seeks his help with a perplexing mystery. Norman Felton, a resident of Midnight Island in Jane Morgan’s county, drove his car to the ferry, then to the county high school on the mainland, and, in an out-of-control rage, beat an exchange student nearly to death with a baseball bat before being shot by sheriff’s deputies.

Missing from Felton’s home is his fourteen-year-old daughter, Amanda. With Felton close to death and the high school student in a coma, Jane has no leads as to why Felton assaulted the student or whether his actions are connected to his missing daughter.
Slowly, Bekker begins to assemble pieces of a puzzle that don’t quite fit. There were no apparent witnesses to Felton’s actions at the high school, and residents of Midnight Island don’t know the whereabouts of the missing girl. With each passing day the odds of finding Amanda Felton grow slimmer. Bekker works around the clock, ferreting out details, until the puzzle slowly comes together, and he makes a shocking discovery that will take him to a dark and dangerous place.
