Death to the King is the chilling true story of the murder of King Kamehameha I, the founder and first king of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The book explores the events leading up to the king's death, the suspects involved, and the aftermath of the crime. It is a gripping account of a pivotal moment in Hawaiian history, and a fascinating look into the dark side of human nature.

Kamehameha I was born in 1758 on the Big Island of Hawaii. He was a skilled warrior and a charismatic leader, and he quickly rose to power. In 1795, he conquered the island of Oahu, and in 1810, he united all of the Hawaiian Islands under his rule. Kamehameha I was a beloved king, and his people mourned his death deeply.

The circumstances surrounding Kamehameha I's death are still shrouded in mystery. The official cause of death was illness, but there is evidence that he may have been poisoned. The suspects in the crime include his wife, Kaahumanu, and his half-brother, Keaweaheulu.

The murder of King Kamehameha I was a turning point in Hawaiian history. It led to a period of instability and violence, and it ultimately paved the way for the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893.

Death to the King is a gripping account of a pivotal moment in Hawaiian history. It is a well-written and researched book that will appeal to readers of true crime, history, and Hawaiian culture.
