Murder at the Mai Tai Bar: A Tropical Thriller - Paperback

Sun. Sand. Suspects.

A fresh, high-stakes tropical thriller set behind the glossy façade of paradise.

Private investigator Eva Pierce makes a living catching cheaters in exotic locales while undercover as viral travel influencer "Sandi Beach." Always filming, always smiling, and always underestimated, Eva specializes in hiding in plain sight-even while wearing a garish leopard-print caftan and blinding everyone with her ring light.

But at a luxury Waikīkī resort, her latest routine surveillance job takes a deadly turn when her billionaire target plunges from his penthouse balcony-landing right in front of her camera.

For the first time ever, Eva has a problem she never anticipated: too many followers. Chased from the top of Diamond Head crater to beneath the inky black waters of the Pacific Ocean, Eva is suddenly the center of a deadly livestream she can't turn off.

Blacklisted by the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority and unable to trust anyone on this isolated island, Eva finds herself stuck in an uneasy triangle between a charming helicopter pilot she's not sure she can trust, and a handsome Honolulu homicide detective who isn't sure whether she's his best witness...or his prime suspect.

As Eva digs into the lives of the ultra-wealthy guests hiding behind curated perfection, she must drop the influencer act and rely on her gritty P.I. instincts. But staying alive isn't easy when the police, a ruthless killer, and millions of fans are watching your every move.

Sun-soaked but sharp-edged, Murder at the Mai Tai Bar blends luxury, danger, and dark humor in a page-turning mystery where paradise is anything but safe.
