Deadly Rivalry in Tonga: 1 (A DCI Kuli Finau Mystery)

DCI Kulī Fīnau of the Tonga Police is suspicious of the goings-on at the Paradise nightclub where government ministers and officials are entertaining expatriate representatives of a new tourism development with underage girls.

Their colleague Pip Carey is convinced both deaths are related to an archaeological find that threatens to upset current theory on Tongan prehistory - a theory on which the rise of Graham Hislops career depends. Is it significant that this find is on the site of the new development?
