Description
Returning to Kaua‘i, park ranger Makalani finds her family divided and their way of life at risk in this rich and emotional adventure by the bestselling author of the Lily Wong series.
After ten years as a national park ranger in Oregon, Makalani Pahukula is back on Kaua‘i for her grandmother’s birthday. Having been gone for so long, Makalani finds the disconnect with her people and her struggles have never been more profound. Neither has her need to reacquaint herself with everything she left behind. When she reaches the homestead, she finds a bickering family and the disconcerting news that her cousins—a failed college football player and a rebellious teenage girl—have gone missing.
Makalani hopes they just ran off, too careless to realize the worry they’ve caused. But when hunters find a dead body in the Keālia Forest Reserve, Makalani fears something ominous is at play, and the search for her cousins grows more desperate. Although her help may not be welcomed by family and locals, Makalani is determined to solve a mystery that poses a greater risk than anyone imagines.
The investigation will open her heart, reawaken her love for the land she calls home, and strengthen her bond with her family. Because no matter how long she’s been away, for Makalani, Hawai‘i is in her blood.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“An atmospheric love letter to Hawaii’s Garden Isle with episodes of action and mystery.” —Kirkus Reviews
“In Kaua’i Storm, Eldridge combines a story of a strong woman torn between family and duty with a pulse-pounding mystery. Steeped in Hawaiian culture, it’s as beautiful and complex as the island itself. A fantastic read!” —Rebecca Cantrell, New York Times bestselling author of It Wants Us Alive
“Anchored by a strong, capable park ranger reminiscent of Nevada Barr’s iconic Anna Pigeon, this thought-provoking, engaging debut immerses readers in Native Hawaiian culture, language, complex genealogy and social issues while delivering a solid mystery with more than a few surprises.” —Paula Woods, Los Angeles Times
“Tori Eldridge has taken the genre to another level. This is a story that leads you to the jagged edge of Kauai’s most treacherous cliffs and dares you to jump off. I was consumed.” —Jasmin Iolani Hakes, award-winning author of Hula
