Just like anywhere else in the world, it has its fair share of murder, drugs, and robbery. Which makes Apelu Soifua the perfect man for his job. He's a cop of two worlds: San Francisco, where he started his career, and now his native Samoa. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Following up on a routine burglary call, Apelu heads to a \u003ci\u003epalangi\u003c\/i\u003e, or Caucasian, neighborhood. The victim, a VP at SeaKing Tuna--the largest employer on the island--reports only a few items missing. But a fatal shooting at a nightclub a few days later points Apelu to the executive's hard-partying daughter. With some help from local reporter Lupe, Apelu chases a wave of violence that stems from the burglary--and seeks out what \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e went missing.
