A volcano is erupting on the island of Maui, and that's the least of Dave Pasch's problems. In book two of the Bill Walton Mysteries, he gets dragged out of the world's greatest luau by the seven-foot-tall human jam band and pulled into another deadly mystery. Walton and Pasch have just three days to solve the murder of one of Walton's oldest friends while calling the greatest basketball tournament under the rainbow, the Maui Invitational. Leis and lies are around every corner in a tropical paradise where everyone has a secret. In James Kirkland's love letter to basketball, Maui, and marijuana, the two broadcasters once again put their lives on the line for truth, justice, and the Deadhead way.
