Surfing Detective Double Feature Vol. 2 - Wipeout! - Murder at Volcano House

Everyone’s favorite surfing detective, Kai Cooke, is back … Waterman’s Library.

Surfing Detective Double Feature, Vol. 2, contains two popular Hawai'i mysteries in one volume:

In WIPEOUT! when a big-wave rider vanishes under a liquid mountain at Waimea Bay and his life insurance company refuses to pay, Kai is hired by the surfer’s pregnant wife, Summer McDahl, to prove he’s dead. Did Corky McDalh expire in the boiling soup or pull off the most daring skip-trace ever? Finding the answer leads the PI on a twisted treasure hunt involving the islands’ big-wave riding and drug trafficking scenes, plus the competing claims of Summer and another woman who also says she’s Corky’s wife.

In MURDER AT VOLCANO HOUSE Kai is hired to protect the CEO of a geothermal venture from the wrath of Pele, legendary goddess of volcanoes. Rex Ransom comes Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park to attend the funeral for his second employee to die mysteriously in Pele’s domain. Ransom’s wife sees a pattern and fears that her husband, having offended Pele by drilling in her sacred rainforest, is next. Kai is not so sure. Until Ransom turns up dead in a steam vent. Kai investigates and finds others besides Pele who might want Ransom dead. Did the goddess herself strike down Ransom? Or is the answer closer to home?
