The Virgin Homicides By Neil S. Plakcy

When two seemingly unrelated women—a college student and a corporate executive—are found murdered in Honolulu, homicide detective Kimo Kanapa’aka is faced with a baffling case.

No clear motive. No obvious connection. No single explanation.
But there is a pattern.

As Kimo and his partner Ray Donne dig deeper, they uncover links hidden beneath the surface—connections that run through the lives of young people navigating a world of social media, status, and dangerous expectations.

Then the case turns personal, because the pattern points somewhere Kimo never expected.
Toward his own family.

With his niece potentially in danger, Kimo is forced into a race against time to untangle a web of violence that may involve more than one person—and stop the next attack before it happens.

Because this isn’t random.
And it isn’t over yet.

A gripping Hawai‘i crime thriller blending LGBTQ+ detective fiction, dark psychology, and police procedural suspense.
