Zana West was a multifaceted protagonist providing a rich view into the inner circle of the tri-world and the pressures facing young legal associates.

“Thrilling and dynamic! Katharine M. Nohr delivers an authentic and intense insight into a no-holds-barred world of triathlon and law on the Hawaiian islands. With an ingenious flare for humor she keeps you intrigued, appalled and downright laughing at the gripping and unpredictable character revelations. I laughed and cried with the characters as they came to life with each turning page.”

“More action than a transition area at the top of the bell curve! Who knew that triathletes were both meat and meat eaters?”
—Murphy Reinschreiber, Vice President of Operations, Conqur Endurance Group and triathlete agent

“Land Sharks grabbed my attention on the first page and didn’t let go. The setting of high pressure, male dominated business threatened to eat our heroine alive, but Zana West’s mixture of strength and vulnerability made her perfect for the job. She makes an enemy, though, and I cheered when she put him in his place. Her romantic endeavor was entertaining as well. You don’t need to be familiar with triathlons to appreciate this intriguing story. Count me in for Katharine M. Nohr’s next book, where I can enjoy the sport without needing to physically participate.”
—Mary Grace Murphy, Author of the Noshes Up North Culinary Mystery Series
