The Cold Coast Mystery Collection
By Conan Berongis
Three haunting mysteries. Three forgotten girls. One relentless voice determined to uncover the truth.
In this gripping collection of emotionally rich, slow-burn island mysteries, investigative podcaster Koa Thompson follows the trail of long-buried secrets across the Hawaiian Islands. Each case blends atmospheric suspense, cultural depth, and the resilience of voices that refuse to be silenced.
Beneath the Hibiscus Moon (Kauaʻi)
The disappearance of Maile Pualani stunned the island two decades ago. When her journal resurfaces, Koa reopens the case-unearthing dangerous secrets that someone still wants hidden.
Silent Shores of Molokaʻi
Pualani Reyes was written off as a runaway. But one brave high school journalist uncovers a sinister pattern of silence. With Koa's help, the truth behind her vanishing begins to rise-and so does a movement.
Shadows Over Haleakalā (Maui)
Noelani Kealoha vanished without a trace. Her voice, buried in time, resurfaces through a journal that points to a predator hiding in plain sight. As the island holds its breath, Koa seeks justice that's long overdue.
From the rain-soaked jungles of Kauaʻi to the red-dirt backroads of Molokaʻi and the volcanic shadows of Haleakalā, Echoes of the Islands is a powerful exploration of loss, truth, and the courage to speak out-no matter the cost.
Perfect for fans of true crime fiction, island suspense, and character-driven mysteries.
