Death on Paradise Island: A Fiji Islands Mystery, Paperback

Death on Paradise Island is the first in the Fiji Islands Mysteries series, featuring Detective Joe Horseman, sometime saviour of Fiji rugby, and Sergeant Susila Singh.

A girl's body is found snagged on the coral reef at Fiji's high-end Paradise Island resort, after festivities for a new marine reserve. Detective Horseman, his rugby career wrecked by a shattered knee, no sooner lands at Suva airport after a year in the U.S. than he's packed off to investigate. While Horseman is in two minds about his future, Sergeant Singh is ambitious and on her way up. To solve what seems an inexplicable death, they must together drag to the surface secrets that have no place in paradise.
