Mahu Investigations 1-3Mahu, Mahu Surfer, and Mahu FireFollow openly gay Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa'aka through three gripping mysteries set against the backdrop of paradise. In Mahu, Kimo confronts his sexuality while investigating a murder that threatens to expose his deepest secrets. Mahu Surfer sends him undercover on Oahu's North Shore, where he must lie to everyone he loves to catch a killer targeting surfers. In Mahu Fire, a bombing at a gay marriage charity event launches Kimo into a deadly investigation of religious extremism and anti-gay violence, while sparking a passionate romance with fire inspector Mike Riccardi.This award-winning series combines exotic Hawaiian settings, authentic surf culture, and aloha spirit with hard-boiled detective work and deeply personal stakes. Lambda Literary Award finalist Neil S. Plakcy has created an unforgettable hero who fights crime while navigating the complexities of coming out in a macho police force. Fast-paced, intricately plotted, and surprisingly moving, these mysteries are as much about discovering oneself as catching killers.
