Robert McCaw grew up in a military family traveling the world. After graduating from Georgetown University, he served as a lieutenant in the US Army before earning his law degree from the University of Virginia. Thereafter he practiced as a partner in a major international law firm in Washington, D.C. and New York City — and maintained a home on the Big Island of Hawai’i. McCaw brings a unique authenticity to his Koa Kāne Hawaiian mystery novels in both his legal expertise and his first-hand ability to portray the richness of Hawai’i’s history, culture, language and people. McCaw lives in New York City with his wife Calli.

Your biggest literary influences:

James A. Michener, Michael Connelly, Craig Johnson, Daniel Silva, Martin Cruz Smith, Barry Eisler

Last book read:

1177 B.C. The Year Civilization Collapsed by Eric H. Cline

The book that changed your life:

Gideon’s Trumpet by Anthony Lewis, the story behind the 1963 landmark US Supreme Court case of Gideon v. Wainwright in which the Court held that criminal defendants have the right to an attorney even if they cannot afford one, motivated me to pursue law school and a fascinating legal career.

Your favorite literary character:

John Rain in Barry Eisler’s series is one of my favorites. He’s a multicultural character in search of his identity with an unusual set of principles largely — and skillfully — defined by the violence in his life.

Currently working on:

The fourth book in the Hawaiian Mystery Series – Treachery Times Two is scheduled to be published by Oceanview Publishing in January 2022. I am currently working on a fifth book for the series.

Words to live by:

People and cultures are quite different from one another, but none have all the answers and all would benefit from working together for the common good.

Advice for aspiring authors: 

Write what you know and don’t try to chase popular trends. By the time your manuscript gets published, who knows what will be trendy.

Testimonials:

“[Fire and Vengeance] moves with volcanic force to a heartfelt, gripping conclusion.” — Rick Mofina, USA Today bestselling author

“[Off the Grid] sizzles with tension and twists that entertain and magnetize. Danger and drama abide, with a wonderful devil-may-care hero. Robert McCaw has the touch.” — Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author.

“In Off the Grid, Robert McCaw has fashioned the year’s most original mystery-thriller set, appropriately enough, in the equally original setting of Hawaii. He crafts a relentlessly riveting tale that races out of the gate and never lets up for a single minute or page.” — Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author.

ARC Reviews of Treachery Times Two

“Author Robert McCaw has created another winning novel . . . If you are a lover of murder mysteries , put this author and this series on your reading queue.”

— Men Reading Books

“Robert McCaw has hooked us with his Koa Kane novels. Treachery Times Two is the fourth in the series starring our native Hawaiian police detective. This may be the best one yet. The tales keeps the reader guessing with surprises to the very end.”
