Danger lurks everywhere, even in paradise...

A blizzard in Washington, DC, is the last straw for Kailani Kapule, so she's heading back to the place where she grew up-the Island of Hawai'i.

She's excited to start her new job as personal chef to a wealthy couple and their two children. She's even got her own suite of rooms in their stunning home overlooking the glittering waters of the Pacific Ocean.

But appearances can be deceiving, and life in an island paradise takes a sinister turn when a houseguest turns up dead. As accusations fly and suspicions abound, the family's picture-perfect façade is in tatters and Kailani is caught in the middle.

Worst of all, there's a killer on the loose.

With the shocking arrival of an obsessive ex-boyfriend, Kailani is thrust into a spiral of events that will leave her running for her life.

Can she survive the House of the Hanging Jade?
