Murder on the Hawaiian Coast

By Conan Berongis

Murder on the Hawaiian Coast

When the body of Dorian Veynar-the ruthless tycoon who built a tourism empire across the Hawaiian Islands-is discovered on his Waikīkī estate, paradise is shattered. What begins as a serene morning overlooking Diamond Head turns into the scene of a shocking murder that sends tremors through Honolulu's elite.

Detective Keoki Tanaka, a man whose roots run deep into the volcanic soil of Hawai'i, is called to unravel the truth behind Veynar's violent death. The investigation draws him into a labyrinth of suspects: a fiery former lover humiliated in public, a calculating business partner with everything to gain, employees betrayed and discarded, and islanders whose sacred lands were desecrated by Veynar's greed.

From the glittering resorts of Honolulu to the quiet coastlines of Maui, Tanaka navigates webs of power, betrayal, and ancestral claims. As the body count rises and old grudges resurface, he must untangle lies buried beneath paradise's postcard-perfect facade. Each clue points to hidden motives, each alibi crumbles under scrutiny, and every revelation pulls him closer to a killer driven by ambition, vengeance, or both.

Rich with Hawaiian atmosphere and steeped in suspense, Murder on the Hawaiian Coast is a gripping whodunnit where paradise itself becomes the stage for a deadly reckoning. In a world where beauty masks danger, Detective Tanaka must uncover the truth before the islands' darkest secrets claim another life.
