Stolen in Paradise - Paradise Crime Mysteries

She wants it all: to catch a murderer, find a missing formula, and blow off a little steam in a great pair of shoes. Special Agent Marcella Scott gets into sand way over her Manolos investigating the death of a prominent scientist washed up on a Waikiki beach with a bullet hole between the eyes. The victim's project, a genetically-engineered algae that could solve the world fuel crisis, has been stolen from the development lab, a hotbed of intrigue where everyone on the project has something to hide-including Marcella.
It was supposed to be simple: kill the scientist and grab the formula. Now he has to stop a relentless FBI agent any way he can. He's in too deep. He's trapped. They're closing in, and he'll kill anyone he has to in order to walk away. Stolen in Paradise is a wonderful mashup between Hawaii Five-O and a romantic suspense novel where the protagonist is a kick-ass FBI agent with protective Italian parents, and a dark past in relationships.
