Going undercover means lying to everyone he loves.
Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa‘aka is back on the job—and back in the closet.
In MAHU SURFER, the second Mahu Investigations mystery, Kimo is sent undercover to O‘ahu’s North Shore to find out who murdered three surfers. To get close to the truth, he has to become someone else again—hiding his badge, his past, and the life he’s just begun to claim as his own.
The deeper he goes, the more dangerous the lies become.
Meth is flooding the beaches. Property wars are turning deadly. And the case forces Kimo back into the orbit of a man tied to the most painful moment of his past—a betrayal that shaped everything he’s become.
To catch a killer, Kimo will have to risk not just his life—but the fragile truth he’s fought to live.
Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Mystery.
