Mail carrier Louise Golden lives on the island of O’ahu and enjoys a friendly camaraderie with the people on her delivery route. When she notices Mrs. Santos missing from her home, Louise becomes concerned. As she questions neighbors in an attempt to learn what became of the elderly woman, Louise is pulled into a mystery involving abductions, car tails, a celebrity pool party, exotic dancing, smuggled Hawaiian artifacts, and, of course, murder.
