Download or read book Murder in Paradise written by Chris Loos and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-07-29 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking true story of the murder of 23–year–old Dana Ireland and the nine–year investigation that became Hawaii's most publicised murder case. By all accounts, 23–year–old Dana Ireland would have been successful at whatever she chose to do with her life. But she didn't get that chance. On Christmas Eve, 1991, this blonde–haired, blue–eyed young woman set off on her bicycle. As she was riding back to the holiday meal, three local youths decided to celebrate Christmas in a different way. They followed her in their car, then rammed her bike, kidnapped, raped, and beat her, and left her for dead on an isolated spot overlooking the ocean. In a community where many residents left their doors unlocked, people were shocked and terrified by this random, brutal act of violence. Worse still was that if the authorities hadn't taken so long to get to the victim, she might have lived. As months and years went by, frustration turned to outrage when police failed to arrest anyone for Dana's murder. But from his home in Springfield, Virginia, John Ireland started his own dogged investigation and crusade for justice. And nine years after his daughter's murder, after one of the most complicated cases the state had ever seen, three men were convicted. Here is a dramatic true story.

Book excerpt: A Hawaiian cowboy returns to his hometown for Christmas and sees an old flame and wonders if they can re-kindle the love they once had. Will they get a second chance at a happily-ever-after? Dr. Jasmine Murphy DVM is building her practice in the small town of Waimea, on the Big Island of Hawaii, after graduating from a prestigious Texas veterinary college. She doesn’t have time for anything but work and especially not for Keith Shaw who a decade earlier left her for the rodeo. When Keith and Jasmine cross paths, she finds out he’s been temporarily hired onto the ranch where her animal clinic is and they have to work together with a pregnant mare. She can’t wait for him to leave and go back on the mainland rodeo circuit after the holidays. Keith abandons any thoughts of getting back together; chalks it up to euphoric recall and looks forward to leaving the island shortly after the start of the new year. But when he’s severely injured in an auto accident and his recovery is going to take at least a year before he can go back on the bull riding circuit, he has to decide whether he wants to stay on the island with a woman that truly doesn’t seem to like him being within a hundred miles of her. Will Keith and Jasmine find a way to reconcile their differences or will they spend Christmas together in a way that neither of them ever expected?
