Summer Jenkins thought lifeguarding on the Big Island meant sunscreen, sea turtles, and serene mornings. But when a corpse washes up on her stretch of the Kohala Coast, her peaceful routine is shattered before she's had enough caffeine to deal.
When she overhears a suspicious conversation, Summer becomes convinced the victim didn’t just meet an unfortunate wave. Suddenly she’s moonlighting as an amateur sleuth, infiltrating a world she never imagined entering: Botox parties where everyone’s eyebrows look permanently surprised, beauty queens who treat hairspray like a competitive sport, and enough gossip to power a small village.
Between dodging pageant moms, deciphering cryptic clues, and trying not to get roped into a spray‑tan ‘touch‑up,'' Summer realizes the killer might be lurking closer than her favorite shave‑ice stand. If she doesn’t crack the case soon, paradise might turn perilous—and she’ll never live it down at the lifeguard tower.
