Daniel is considered the best of the best in the NYPD. The Commissioner is contacted by the U.S. State Department to assist the Chilean Government with a unique murder on Easter Island. A killer there has been killing tourists at night and cannibalizing their bodies.
Daniel gets right to work and learns the history of the island which the natives call Rapa Nui. He also learns the language from a legendary woman who is ninety-four-years old. She reminded me of granny on the Beverly Hillbillies with her gutsy attitude and determination.
The killing of tourists has been kept out of the news because of what it would do to the tourist trade but when another person is murdered and cannibalized, the news gets out.
The Chilean government sends a new detective out who brings in his own investigators and mostly ignores Daniel.
The story is divided into three books, in the first, the murders and investigation takes place; in the second book, Daniel goes into a cave like structure and is transported back in time. He learns what happened in Rapa Nui to cause someone to want to murder tourists to their land. He also falls in love and becomes a hero to the natives. Book three brings him back into current time to deal with the killer and Daniel's new life.
This is a paranormal type of story where the reader must suspend their view of reality to be transported to the fictional and supernatural world. Some of the action and the manner in which the time travel takes place wasn't explained to my satisfaction and I had difficulty with the story.
Free book for an honest review.

That sounds like quite a different twist. I'm not sure how much I'd like it.
