After Jessie Bradford’s uncle died at his South Point ranch on Hawaii’s Big Island,
Jessie goes to claim the inheritance her uncle left her. She plans to spend a few
weeks settling her uncle’s affairs and return to her home in San Francisco. Her life
takes an unexpected turn when two men searching for an ancient burial site at
South Point find the tomb, but also find something they were not expecting. In the
same tomb with the remains of a 1,000-year-old Hawaiian chief, they find a skeleton
of a 20th century murder victim with its skull bashed in. Jessie’s father has been
missing for 36 years. She is sure the skeleton is his, but who would want to murder
her father? Detective John “Mac” McIntire investigates, but Jessie does some
investigating of her own.
During her search for her father's killer, Jessie rekindles an old romance with her
childhood sweetheart, inherits a sprawling 500 acre cattle ranch, and unwittingly
uncovers the truth surrounding the decades-old murder.
