The pair of unlikely sleuths — part-Hawaiian Mina Beckwith and her fiancé, part-Samoan Ned Manusia — find themselves unraveling a deadly web of espionage and murder …

As the story opens, Ned is in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, where he has been sent to rescue his friend Nigel, a British spy being ruthlessly hunted by the Japanese police. The action moves to Honolulu where Mina is embroiled with a group of eccentric artists whose numbers are being depleted in a series of dramatically staged murders. While Mina looks into the murders of the artists, Ned and Nigel attempt to ferret out a spy sending reports on the activities of the Navy at Pearl Harbor to the Japanese government.

The two plot lines become intertwined as Ned and Mina are enmeshed in a dangerous net of international intrigue.
