A scrap of cloth fluttering in the wind leads Hilo police
Chief Detective Koa Kāne to the tortured remains of an unfortunate soul left to
burn in the path of an advancing lava flow. For Koa, it’s the second gruesome
homicide of the day, and he soon discovers the murders are linked. These grisly
crimes on Hawaiʻi’s Big Island could rewrite history―or cost Chief Detective
Koa Kāne his career.
The dead, a reclusive couple living off the grid, turn out
to be mysterious fugitives. The CIA, the Chinese government, and the Defense
Intelligence Agency, attempt to thwart Koa’s investigation and obscure the
victims’ true identities. Undeterred by mounting political pressure, Koa
pursues the truth only to find himself drawn into a web of international
intrigue.
While Koa investigates, the Big Island scrambles to prepare
for the biggest and most explosive political rally in its history. Despite
police resources stretched to the breaking point, Koa uncovers a government
conspiracy so shocking its exposure topples senior officials far beyond
Hawaiʻi’s shores.
New York Times best-selling author Linda Fairstein noted:
“Off the Grid is a gripping thriller that grabs the reader by the throat in the
opening scenes and doesn’t let go until the dramatic conclusion. If you don’t
know McCaw, this crime novel is the place to start―grisly murders, smart cops
and agents, and a unique sense of place on the island of Hawaii.”
About the author:
Robert McCaw grew up in a military family traveling the
world. After graduating from Georgetown University, he served as a lieutenant
in the US Army before earning his law degree from the University of Virginia.
Thereafter he practiced as a partner in a major international law firm in
Washington, DC, and New York City—and maintained a home on the Big Island of
Hawai’i. McCaw brings a unique authenticity to his Koa Kāne Hawaiian mystery
novels in both his law enforcement expertise and his ability to portray the
richness of Hawai’i’s history, culture, and people. McCaw lives in New York
City and La Jolla, California, with his wife, Calli.
Praise for Off the Grid:
“In Off the Grid, Robert McCaw has fashioned the year's most
original mystery-thriller set, appropriately enough, in the equally original
setting of Hawai‘i. He crafts a relentlessly riveting tale that races out of
the gate and never lets up for a single minute or page.
”―Jon Land, USA Today best-selling author
“This one sizzles with tension and twists that entertain and
magnetize. Danger and drama abide, with a wonderful, devil-may-care hero.
Robert McCaw has the touch.”
