When a Chinese teenager dies in a fire at a Honolulu shopping center, homicide detective Kimo Kanapa'aka must overcome his issues with his ex-boyfriend, fire inspector Mike Riccardi, to investigate an underworld of illegal immigration, gambling and prostitution.

Fourth in the /Mahu/ series, /Mahu Vice/ is a ripped-from-the-headlines look at sexual obsession, the criminal mind, and the price of life in paradise. It's also a deeply romantic story of two alpha males struggling to find a way to love each other.
