# Hokuloa Road - Hardcover

by **Elizabeth Hand** (Author)

**A young man is drawn into the dark side of paradise in this "brilliantly atmospheric" (_New York Times Book Review_) and "refreshingly creepy" (_Washington Post_) mystery.**

A _New York Times_ Notable Book of 2022 On a whim, Grady Kendall applies to work as a live-in caretaker for a luxury property in Hawaiʻi, as far from his small-town Maine life as he can imagine. Within days he's flying out to an estate on remote Hokuloa Road, where he quickly uncovers a dark side to the island's idyllic reputation: it has long been a place where people vanish without a trace.

When a young woman from his flight becomes the next to disappear, Grady is determined--and soon desperate--to figure out what's happened to Jessie, and to all those staring out of the island's "missing" posters. But working with Raina, Jessie's fiercely protective best friend, to uncover the truth is anything but easy, and with an inexplicable and sinister presence stalking his every step, Grady can only hope he'll find the answer before it's too late.

Perfect for fans of Peter Heller and _The White Lotus_, and from award-winning writer Elizabeth Hand, a master of crime fiction known for her magnetic characters, seductive prose, and fearless excavations into the darkest corners of our world, comes a chilling and illuminating new novel about a place unlike any other--and the deadly cost of keeping it so.

**"Set in a Hawaii so vividly imagined I'm still shaking sand out of my shoes."--Grady Hendrix, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _The Final Girl Support Group_**

"Twisty and dark . . . easily one of the best thrillers I've read." --Rachel Hawkins, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _The Wife Upstairs_

"This is the perfect book for your summer beach bag--an evocative mystery set in a tropical island paradise." --Jason Rekulak, author of _Hidden Pictures_
