A Kana Hale Thriller

Hawaii, 1940. A paradise poised for war. A man caught in the middle.

When irreverent engineer Kana Hale returns home to Oahu, he’s hoping for quiet mornings and second chances. Instead, a dying man’s cryptic request drags him into a storm of secrets that stretches from the backstreets of Honolulu to the shadowy edges of global conflict.

Soon, Kana is being hunted—for a murder he didn’t commit, and a notebook he doesn’t understand. Japanese spies want him silenced. The FBI wants him behind bars. And the only person who might help him—Alani, the woman he once loved—has her own reasons to stay far away.

But as the island simmers with unrest, and every friendly face may be a mask, Kana must risk everything to uncover the truth. The closer he gets, the more he realizes: this isn’t just about clearing his name. It’s about surviving a paradise that’s turning inside out—and stopping a betrayal that could change the course of history.

Atmospheric and gripping, Sunrise on the Evil and the Good pulls readers into a lush, volatile world where nothing is what it seems, and no one walks away clean.
