An assassin kills a U.S. congressman in American Samoa then enters independent Samoa to hunt more targets. Pua, the sole agent of the Samoan Secret Service, must protect the Samoan national leader--her grandfather. With an anti-colonial chip on her shoulder and a black belt to back it up, she faces a down-on-his-luck CIA agent and a rogue New Zealand diplomat. They close in on each other and the warrior-assassin as they race to discover a well-kept secret regarding Samoa's future kept by the historical figure Robert Louis Stevenson. Pua and Ken, the CIA agent, must figure out how to put aside the past to catch the killer and prevent the archipelago from disintegrating. 

"A fast-paced, multifaceted tale that will keep you entertained from start to finish . . ."
