Mahu

A homicide detective. A secret he can’t hide. A case that will expose ‎everything.‎

Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapaʻaka has worked hard to build his ‎reputation—tough, capable, and completely in control. In a department steeped in macho ‎culture, there’s no room for weakness. And no room for the truth about who he is.‎

Then a night out at a bar turns deadly.‎

Shaken, Kimo finds himself pulled toward a side of Waikīkī he’s spent his life ‎avoiding—late-night bars, stolen glances, the dangerous possibility of being seen. But ‎when he witnesses two men dumping a body in a dark alley, his personal life collides with ‎his job in the worst possible way.‎

As Kimo hunts a killer through Honolulu’s hidden underworld—from Chinatown’s ‎back alleys to the city’s most exclusive homes—rumors begin to spread. And the closer ‎he gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to keep his own from coming out.‎

To solve the case, Kimo will have to risk everything—his career, his ‎reputation, and the life he’s built.‎

A gripping mystery set against the vivid backdrop of Oʻahu, Mahu is the first in a ‎series featuring a detective learning that the most dangerous secrets are the ones we ‎keep from ourselves.‎

Fans of HAWAII FIVE-0 will love this! Also police procedural fans, devotees of ‎Don Winslow’s THE DAWN PATROL, Kem Nunn, and all mysteries set in Hawaii, whether ‎cozy or surf noir.‎
