It's also a deeply romantic story of two alpha males struggling to find a way to love each other. #4 in the Mahu Series. 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
