The Water City trilogy by Chris McKinney is set in a future version of Hawaii where rising sea levels have reshaped civilization. The series follows a retired detective who gets drawn into a conspiracy surrounding the scientist credited with saving humanity from an asteroid impact.
Midnight, Water City (2021) opens the trilogy and blends noir-style mystery with speculative world-building. Eventide, Water City and Sunset, Water City (both 2023) continue the story as the detective uncovers deeper layers of deception. The books should be read in publication order, as each picks up directly from the last.
