Mahu Tide Publisher's Summary

Before he was a detective, Kimo Kanapaʻaka was chasing waves.

On Oahu’s North Shore, twenty-three-year-old Kimo lives for surf—early mornings, big swells, and the freedom of the ocean. When a mainland rookie named Jesse Dugan asks for guidance, Kimo reluctantly takes him under his wing, recognizing something familiar in the kid’s hunger to belong.

But when Jesse wipes out at Waimea and doesn’t come back up, the tragedy is written off as a rookie mistake. Kimo isn’t so sure. The leash Jesse trusted doesn’t look broken. It looks cut.

As Kimo digs deeper into the tight-knit surf community, he uncovers whispers of shady sponsorships, dangerous gear, and a man who may have pushed Jesse further than he was ready to go. The closer Kimo gets to the truth, the more he realizes that some risks don’t come from the ocean at all.

They come from people.

Mahu Tide is a gripping prequel to the Mahu Investigations series, revealing the moment that set Kimo on the path from surfer to detective—and taught him that instinct, once awakened, can’t be ignored.
