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.

Available in digital, print, and audiobook.
