Poi Sun Lahaina harbormaster, Aloha Jones, has taken a second job as a marine patrol officer. On a break to purchase lunch, hers having been pilfered by her fur sidekick, Wharf, Aloha generates a racial profiling investigation based on their actions. To avoid the conflict and to sort out the reality of having a reunion with her ex-husband Snake, she responds to her sister Sarang's request for help in saving the family cabin near Hana from a wildfire.Since good deeds rarely go unpunished, Aloha finds herself returning to the community and circumstance that caused her to leave the island and join the Coast Guard after college. After she gets to Hana she is further embroiled in that historic conflict as her least favorite person, Mallory Deems, drowns behind the dam and Aloha is recruited to retrieve her body. Mallory's husband, and Aloha's former fiancé Nate Deems, is just one of the reasons Aloha is loath to reintroduce herself to her awkward past. Once on scene, Aloha discovers that Sarang, a retired Marine, is suffering from PTSD and treating herself with medical marijuana. Aloha's concern for the situation is further complicated by a series of local characters who pull her in different directions as she learns that Mallory's death is not a dive accident, but murder.

<p>In Animal Magnetism, winner of the 2009 Pearl Poetry Prize, Kim Roberts delves into the mysteries, anomalies, and afflictions of the human body. While caring for a terminally ill friend, she began visiting medical museums, exploring the age-old effort to understand the body's workings and cure its maladies. But it wasn't until she faced her own illness that she began to translate what she found there into these finely-crafted, deeply personal, and historically revealing poems. From Hippocrates to the dawn of modern medicine, the arcane exhibits she encounters not only serve to remind us of how far we've come in this age of advanced medical technology, but how much further we have to go. For who among us has not experienced the betrayal of the body, whose unseen corridors still harbor the seeds of disease and disorder?</p>
