Mano's Brief.

Hawaii's top police chief, Mano, has spent his career shielding the islands from threats that never make the headlines. With a trusted team at his side-and backup from the FBI, Homeland Security, and other federal allies-he stands between paradise and the dangers that stalk it.

A new threat is closing in.

A covert terror network rooted in Indonesia is steering its most lethal operatives toward Hawaii, and intelligence points to a strike unlike anything the islands have ever faced. As the clock ticks down, Mano is drawn into a deadly contest with extremists linked to Jemaah Islamiyah-fighters trained to disappear, infiltrate, and kill without hesitation.

To stop them, Mano must survive a maze of deception, stay one step ahead of a ruthless foe, and uncover the plot before it explodes on Hawaiian soil.

In this pulse-pounding fourth instalment of the Mano series, paradise becomes the battleground-and failure is not an option. Coming soon: Mano's Territory and Mano's Shadow.
