A Hawaiian Whodunnit
When the body of philanthropist Jonathan Kapahu is discovered in his Diamond Head estate, paradise is shattered by a brutal crime that stirs old wounds and hidden rivalries.
Detective Keoki Tanaka, returning home to Honolulu, is thrust into a case where every suspect wears a mask:
Maile Kapahu, the elegant widow with secrets behind her poise.
David Okimoto, the powerful business partner whose loyalty may have fractured.
Noelani Pires, the bitter ex-employee seeking justice for betrayal.
Kaiya Nakamura, the artist whose canvas may reveal truths words cannot.
As Tanaka follows the trail from glittering estates to Chinatown alleys, from hidden ledgers to whispered resentments, he uncovers more than a murder-he finds echoes of land disputes, ancestral claims, and the island's oldest truths. The deeper he wades into the currents of power and greed, the more he realizes this crime is not about one man's death, but about Hawai'i itself-and the price of forgetting kuleana, the responsibility to land and community.
Rich with atmosphere, cultural depth, and relentless suspense, The Tides of Deception is a whodunnit that blends classic mystery with the soul of the islands. Detective Tanaka must navigate lies, loyalties, and legacies before the tide buries the truth forever.
