A spellbinding crime thriller about grief, endurance, and how far a mother will go to save her child.

When former attorney turned author Michele Lopez Hanson commits to racing the Kona Ironman, she’s driven by more than grit. The triathlon was her late husband’s dream — one he never finished after a fatal biking accident shattered her family. Training for the race becomes her way of surviving the grief… and of staying close to the man she lost.

But the harder Michele pushes herself along her husband’s old training routes, the more questions surface about his death. What if the accident wasn’t an accident at all?

Before she can chase the truth, Michele’s world is upended again: her teenage son is accused of murder. Forced off the bike and into an investigation far more dangerous than any race, Michele must draw on her legal instincts to uncover the real killer — before her son’s life is destroyed.

With Kona fast approaching and the case against her son intensifying, Michele is running out of time. Can she cross the finish line, expose the truth, and hold her family together — or will everything she loves crash and burn?

Going for Kona is a standalone, adrenaline-fueled romantic mystery — part of the addictive What Doesn’t Kill You super series and the first in the Michele Lopez Hanson Trilogy.

The first story set in the fishing village of Kingsport, which is featured in the later works of the one of the greatest horror writers of all time.

It is rumored that the mysterious old man who lives alone in the small New England town was once a sea captain. It is also rumored that he is hoarding a treasure. When three robbers decide to steal it, they will encounter a bloodthirsty evil unlike any they ever imagined…
“The Terrible Old Man is the story of three career criminals looking to rob the eponymous character, an eccentric retired mariner so ancient that no one alive remembers his youth… This is also the first story set in the fictional New England geography that Lovecraft will detail over the course of future writing… So, what we see in these stories is Lovecraft beginning to construct the alternate world which will be the home to his most famous works, at least as much a unifying element of the author’s oeuvre as those details subsequent writers and critics have defined as the ‘Cthulhu Mythos.’ As such, The Terrible Old Man is not only an effective piece of eerie storytelling, it is also an important stepping stone in the development of a bigger Lovecraftian world.” — The Blood-Shed

“A piece of minimalist brushwork, with most of the narrative suggested by negative space… In sharp contrast to the central Mythos tales, the horror is allusive and oblique, the violence kept off-stage.” — Tor.com
