About this listen

Mahu -- a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexuals -- introduces a unique character to detective fiction. Kimo Kanapa'aka is a handsome, mixed-race surfer living in Honolulu, a police detective confronting his homosexuality in an 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, thoroughly enjoyable, this is a sexy, surprisingly moving mystery about discovering oneself as much as catching a killer.

I'm a long time fan of Neil Plakcy and his Mahu series and I was very happy when Joel Leslie was given the task of bringing this story to life. I've been listening to it in the car and this has been making my long distance driving a real pleasure.
Joel's performance is excellent and and I cannot recommend this story highly enough.

Well worth the price of admission
