This could be a private investigator or a local law enforcement official. There would also be antagonists, the criminals causing trouble on the island. And there might be some side characters like witnesses, informants, or people who are indirectly affected by the crimes, such as local business owners who are losing customers due to the high crime rate.
One main theme could be the exploration of justice. In crime novels, the pursuit of justice is often central. Another might be the dark side of the big island itself, like its seedy underbelly. And perhaps the theme of redemption for some of the characters involved in the crimes.
