Mahu Blood
Statehood is a controversial issue in Hawai’i because many native Hawaiians perceived the United States as an occupying force that overthrew a sovereign monarchy in 1892. Beginning ten months after the action of Mahu Vice, Neil S. Plakcy’s Mahu Blood takes place on Hawai’i Statehood Day, organized by Kingdom of Hawai’i, one of many competing groups that seeks reparations from the US for the loss of land and independence.
The mayhem starts when an elderly woman is shot dead there, just a few feet from where Detective Kimo’s mother and nephews are demonstrating. Soon enough, he’s on the case. Meanwhile, he’s dealing with domestic difficulties, having just moved in with his boyfriend, fire investigator Mike Riccardi. Since both are alpha males, the transition to shared living space isn’t easy. The investigation continues to get more complicated as Kimo uncovers a trail of gambling, money laundering and mental illness.
The mystery’s title refers not only to the blood spilled in three murders, but the blood ties that link native Hawaiians together. As Kimo gets closer to unmasking the killer, bodies continue piling up. Will he crack the case before more lives are lost?
