Bones of Banyan Drive - Big Island Mysteries Book 2 by Jane Lasswell Hoff

Forensic Anthropologist Mimi Charles is jolted awake by a call that a tree has fallen on Hilo's historic Banyan Drive. The tree has knocked out power to nearby water-front hotels, and a human skull has been spotted dangling in its roots. In the face of bureaucratic indifference, and with zero training as a detective, Mimi is determined to find the identity of the cranium's long-deceased owner.
