In the second installment of the Mahu series, Honolulu Police Detective Kimo Kanapa'aka is sent to the North Shore to uncover the mystery of three surfers who have been shot. It's not so much that he's a great detective - it's because he's gay and his coming out made him big news in Honolulu (thanks to his brother's television station) and now most of the police force doesn't want to work with him. Besides, he can surf and so he'll fit in with the people there.


Kimo is in fine form here - investigating the murders, surfing the waves, and having sex with, well, several men. He even gets his first taste of a threesome - and that alone is worth the price of admission folks. 


But, as always, the writing is great and the mystery is even better. (Even I didn't guess this one.) If you haven't started with Mahu, go back to the beginning. You'll be glad you did!
