Maui Magic
by Terry Ambrose
Whatever happened to easy? McKenna had the perfect cover for his plan to propose marriage to Benni Kapono. They’d accompany his elderly tenant, Mrs. Nakamura, to Maui for a visit with her pregnant granddaughter. Then, he’d take Benni for a walk on the beach and pop the question. Yes, perfect. Until Mrs. Nakamura’s grandson-in-law is accused of murder.
McKenna reluctantly takes on the task of proving Hisao Fujita’s innocence despite the man’s confession. As McKenna and his sidekick Chance Logan dig into Hisao’s life, they soon discover they’re squarely in the middle of Maui’s battle over the island’s water.
With each step in the investigation, more questions pile up. Why was the murder victim living under a fake identity? Why is their client lying to them? And who is the mystery man stalking McKenna?
