Terror and intrigue come to the Big Island! Two grisly murders point to Hawaii as the new home of the Red Summit terrorist organization. What a coincidence that Taka Matsuura, the famed Japanese cattle baron, recently moved his business there. A once thought dead ex-con with an expertise in mad cow disease and anthrax suddenly reappears in Waikoloa. Jotty, Jim, and Haruko become entangled in this almost unbearable suspense. An out of shape bureaucrat, a gun-slinging Texas cowboy, and a beautiful Japanese National Police investigator, are the FBI's new counter-terror team assigned to stop the Red Summit from their mad cow tainted plot. Will they suceed? Or does the sick genius of Taka scheme a more sinister end for them all? And just what is the significance of the lips?
