Death on Paradise Island by B.M. Allsopp

Publisher's Synopsis

Death on Paradise Island is the first book in the Fiji Islands Mystery Series, introducing Inspector Josefa Horseman and Sergeant Susila Singh of the Fiji Police Force.

A girl’s body is found snagged on the coral reef at Fiji’s high-end Paradise Island resort, after festivities for a new marine reserve. Detective Joe Horseman, his rugby career wrecked by a shattered knee, no sooner lands at Suva airport after a year in the U.S. than he’s packed off to investigate. While Horseman is in two minds about his future, Sergeant Susila Singh is ambitious and on her way up. To solve what seems an inexplicable death, they must together drag to the surface secrets that have no place in paradise.
