Mahu Surfer: Murder Rides the Waves on Oahu's North Shore

Going undercover means lying to everyone he loves.‎

In Mahu Surfer, the second book in the Mahu Investigations mystery series, gay ‎Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa‘aka returns to his surfing past. His new boss ‎sends the former competitive surfer undercover on O‘ahu’s North Shore to find the ‎connection between three murdered surfers—and stop a killer before someone else dies.‎

But there’s a catch. Kimo can’t tell his family or friends that he has returned to the ‎force. After being publicly outed and finally beginning to tell the truth about his life, he ‎must now lie to everyone who matters to him.‎

On the North Shore, Kimo finds trouble beneath the paradise: crystal meth, ‎soaring real estate prices, and a surfing community that doesn’t trust cops. He also ‎comes face-to-face with a man from his past whose sexual assault helped drive Kimo into ‎the police academy—and deeper into the closet—six years earlier.‎

To catch a killer, Kimo will have to navigate dangerous waves, old wounds, and ‎secrets that hit much closer to home than he expected.‎

Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Mystery. Perfect for fans of ‎Joseph Hansen, Michael Nava, and John Morgan Wilson.‎
