Black Jasmine

by Toby Neal

Overview

Paradise hides darkness behind a beautiful face.

The teen in the car at the base of the cliff is no suicide.

When a nameless young girl is found in a crashed vehicle on the rocks of one of Maui's black lava cliffs, Detective Lei Texeira can't rest until she finds out what really happened. She blazes through all the wealth and poverty of Maui island society in her quest for justice even as she faces the personal demons of commitment and revenge that threaten the only real love she's ever known.

That girl should never have crossed me.

I know who I am--a procurer of beautiful things for people who can afford them. Men and women for pleasure, fine art for collectors, and money for the mob. Lei Texeira is nothing but an annoyance. I'll take everything she loves, burn down her house, and take her life, too...just because I can.
