Hawai’i is known for jungles, beaches, surf, sun … and deadly mystery.
Following a lifelong dream, FBI Special Agent Vanessa Storm transfers to the FBI’s Hawaii detachment, where she brings her special abilities to bear on some of the most puzzling and dangerous crimes.
Torn Roots
FBI Special Agent Vanessa Storm’s first case in Hawai’i sends her to Maui’s rain-soaked south shore to investigate the murder of a woman in the midst of conflict between local activists and foreign investors.
This delicate investigation isn’t made any easier with the lack of a body. An abrasive environmentalist, a taciturn geologist, a laid-back local cop and a rogue Homeland Security agent lead Vanessa into a tangled jungle of case.
Time is running out before the case whirls into a full-blown international diplomatic incident.

Coming soon: Echoes
“I am hopelessly in love with a memory. An echo from another time, another place.” — Michel Foucault
The Kahuna—“wizard” in old Hawai’ian—was the only one who could surprise Vanessa Storm when she was a teenager. When she’s an FBI Special Agent, though, things are different. She’s no longer a girl impressed with small-town bad boys.
But the echo of a crime pulls the Kahuna back into Vanessa’s life.
“This is one of Scott Bury’s best!”—Samreen Ahsan, multi-award winning author
