Mahu

Description

Mahu - a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexuals - introduces a unique character to detective fiction. Kimo Kanapa'aka, a handsome, mixed-race surfer living in Honolulu, is a police detective confronting his homosexuality in the atmosphere of macho bravado within the police force. A man of intelligence, strength, honesty, resourcefulness, and intense dedication to the people of Hawaii, Kimo is a hard-boiled hero you will never forget. Fast-paced, intricately plotted, and thoroughly enjoyable, this is a sexy, surprisingly moving mystery that is as much about discovering oneself as it is about catching a killer.
