This month, WhoDunnits will be reading Death of a Messenger by Robert B. McCaw. On Hawaii Island, an anonymous 911 caller reports a body at Pohakuloa, the Army’s live-fire training area. Hilo Chief Detective Koa Kane, a cop with his own secret criminal past, finds a mutilated corpse – bearing all the hallmarks of ancient ritual sacrifice. He encounters a host of obstacles as he pursues the murderer – an incompetent local medical examiner, hostility from both haoles (Westerners) and sovereignty advocates, and a myriad of lies. Koa races to discover whether the victim stumbled upon a gang of high-tech archaeological thieves, or learned a secret so shocking it cost him his life and put others in mortal danger.   “This book’s vivid, thrilling conclusion is both unique and atmospheric in a whodunit featuring a resilient sleuth successfully defending his native tropical paradise. A tautly paced, impressively accomplished police procedural marking the beginning of a promising mystery series.”– Kirkus Reviews  WhoDunnits is a discussion group devoted to mysteries of all kinds and meets the first Tuesday of every month.
