"'K.O.'d in the Volcano', starring Honolulu police officer, Katrina Ogden, is a unique and delightful mystery set in the mysterious and beautiful Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. It is an intriguing story full of twists and turns that is sure to enthrall both real and armchair visitors of Hawaii's romantic and multicultural society. Grab your lei, watch out for the lava and hang on for the ride!" "Victoria Heckman's 'K.O.'d in the Volcano' is a terrific novel. The plot is as fast and hot as the lava that threatens to blow from Kupaianaha and the writing so vivid you can feel the ensuing heat. Katrina Ogden is an intelligent and self-confident protagonist who remains genuine in nature, a refreshing change from so many of the carefully constructed and gimmicky characters that populate so many of today's mysteries. I recommend it highly." --JR Ripley, author of the Tony Kozol mystery series
