Going for Kona (A Michele Lopez Hanson Mystery‪)‬

In this gripping crime thriller, former lawyer Michele enters the Kona triathlon in honor of her late husband, who died tragically in a road accident. But even the intense training isn't enough to keep her from questioning the circumstances surrounding his death — and when her son is accused of murder, she'll do whatever it takes to keep her family intact… 

"Spellbinding." — Jo Bryan, Dry Creek Book Club

When Michele Lopez Hanson quit her law practice to become an author, she was looking forward to spending more time at home with her triathlete husband and her teen kids. But when a tragic biking accident claims her husband's life, she finds herself with nothing but free time and painful memories. Drowning in grief, she pledges to honor his memory by competing in the Ironman he'll never finish. But as she follows along his old training routes, she discovers that if she pedals hard enough, she can sense him alongside her.

Her single-minded focus on the race leaves little time for her children, but when her teenage son is accused of murder, she has no choice but to get off the bike seat long enough to track down the real killer. With the Ironman fast approaching and the charges against her son heating up, can she cross the finish line and hold her family together or will everything she loves crash and burn?
