Beschreibung

Philadelphia, 1777, during the American Revolution. Abigail St. Clair knows many secrets, and the damage done if those secrets are revealed.
 
She arrives in Philadelphia during the British occupation with her new husband, a minister for the Anglican Church, knowing she'll soon confront her former lover.
 
Betrayal wears many faces and impacts more than most could know. When Abigail sinks in scandal not of her own making, fighting wrongs that may never be righted, she steps onto a dangerous precipice, living two very different lives: a devoted minister’s wife, loyal to the Crown, and a colonial spy, tied to a man she loves more than most could imagine.
 
An awakening draped in fast-paced drama, The Minister’s Wife defines a woman who betrays country, family, and friends to serve a higher purpose, defying a ruthless enemy, ripping wrong from right and exposing sordid secrets. On a subtler level, it explores the human psyche - love, ambition, trust and guilt - as friends and foes change places, and love emerges to conquer all.

In Mahu, Kimo confronts his sexuality while investigating a murder that threatens to expose his deepest secrets. Mahu Surfer sends him undercover on Oahu's North Shore, where he must lie to everyone he loves to catch a killer targeting surfers. In Mahu Fire, a bombing at a gay marriage charity event launches Kimo into a deadly investigation of religious extremism and anti-gay violence, while sparking a passionate romance with fire inspector Mike Riccardi.

Fast-paced, intricately plotted, and surprisingly moving, these mysteries are as much about discovering oneself as catching killers.
