- FIRST PRIZE FOR FICTION, NEW ENGLAND BOOK FESTIVAL
Special Forces vet and surfer Pono Hawkins quits sunny Hawaii for Maine's brutal winter to help a former comrade beat a murder rap. Pono is hunted, shot at, betrayed, and stalked by knife-wielding assassins as he tries to find the real murderer. Nothing is certain, no one can be trusted, no place is safe. There's a million square miles of wildlands out there to hide a man's body. And with a rap sheet that includes two jail sentences, Pono is the target of every cop in the state.
A national US best-seller, Killing Maine won 1st Prize at the New England Book Festival. Second in the Pono Hawkins series after the critically acclaimed, best-seller Saving Paradise, it is an insider's view of crooked Maine politics, environmental catastrophes and corporate graft, and how a lone commando hunts down those who hunt him, protects the women he loves, and defends a beautiful, endangered wilderness.
