Scott Evers: Three Minutes Missing

A container cannot cross Honolulu Harbor in three minutes. The records say it did. Shipping accountant Malia Tanaka sees the impossible timestamp and sends Keneke Kawena a simple message: Tell me this is clock drift. By morning, Malia is dead. Her electronic trail is disappearing. But one thing survives. Paper. Keneke follows the discrepancy through container records, mismatched clocks, pallet serial numbers, custody handoffs, insurance files, port systems, and a missing compliance manager whose last movements touched the same harbor. Detective Jonah Kealoha wants evidence that can survive a courtroom. Customs broker Lehua Mahelona knows how much can happen while one organization believes another organization owns the problem. Every record is almost right. Every institution sees only its own piece. And somebody understands exactly how much can disappear in the minutes when responsibility moves faster than visibility. As an old pattern becomes an active threat, Keneke must solve more than a murder. He has to determine what the records actually prove before someone uses his certainty against him. Scott Evers: Three Minutes Missing is a taut standalone conspiracy thriller from the Scott Evers world, starring Keneke Kawena in a story of murder, shipping, institutional blind spots, and the deadly things that happen between one legitimate handoff and the next. No prior Scott Evers novel is required.
