On Hawaii Island, a mysterious 911 guest reports a body in Phakuloa, the Army's live-fire preparing region. Hilo Chief Detective Koa Kāne, a cop with his own mysterious criminal past, tracks down a disfigured cadaver—bearing every one of the signs of old custom penance. Koa experiences a large group of obstructions as he seeks after the killer—an awkward nearby clinical analyst, aggression from both haoles (Westerners) and sway advocates, and a heap of falsehoods. Nothing is the thing that appears, and Koa should depend on impulse and cleverness to focus on reality.
From immaculate imperial entombment vaults to the world's biggest galactic telescopes high on the Mauna Kea fountain of liquid magma, the unusual case brings Koa profoundly into his own Hawaiian roots. As Koa tests the casualty's past, he faces a rich program of suspects—grave looters, local activists, criminals, and stargazers.
Koa competitions to find out whether the casualty coincidentally found a posse of cutting edge archeological criminals, or took part in a mystery so stunning it cost him his life and put others in human peril. Will Hilo's most regarded analyst stop this cruel devil—or will the Phakuloa executioner strike once more—with much deadlier outcomes?
REVIEWERS
1. From: Steve Berry, New York Times top-rated creator
[Off the Grid] sizzles with pressure and winds that engage and charge. Risk and show withstand, with a magnificent, nonchalant saint. Robert McCaw has the touch.
2. From: Jon Land, USA Today's top-rated creator
In Off the Grid, Robert McCaw has designed the year's most unique secret thrill ride set, suitably enough, in the similarly unique setting of Hawaii. It is a tenaciously arresting story that races out of the door and never eases up briefly or page.
3. From: Rick Mofina, USA Today top of the line creator
It moves with volcanic power to an ardent, holding end.
4. Structure: Midwest Book Review
With one deftly created cliffhanger of an unexpected development after another, Death of a Messenger by secret writer Robert McCaw is an innately arresting read from one cover to another.
