In Hawaii to help run a conference, Thea Kozak is determined to find time to relax--until the conference chairwoman is found dead. While struggling to keep the conference from descending into chaos, Thea discovers more motives and suspects than she can handle. Throw in hostile local cops, the victim's suspicious husband, and Thea's hopes for trading her business suit for a bikini and some sun are dashed. But with help from an observant little girl, a too-observant pathologist, and a dear friend, Thea just may come out of this alive.
