Description
The debut mystery novel featuring the "strong, sexy, and funny" (Nelson DeMille) Miami PI Lupe Solano, who gets involved in a case that is literally a matter of life-or-death...
Lupe Solano has succeeded as a female private eye by using her brains, bravado, and, occasionally, her beauty. And with the support of her eccentric, sometimes maddening family never in doubt, she knows she'll always have a place to go when her life gets complicated. And it's about to get more complicated than ever.
Her newest clients are Lucia and Jose Marino, parents of an adopted four-year-old who has fallen deathly ill. The child's only hope is a bone marrow transplant from the birth mother, whom the Marinos want Lupe to locate. But finding the woman proves far from simple after Lupe uncovers a black-market adoption ring being run by Elio Betancourt, a ruthless attorney willing to stop at nothing ensure his affairs remain secret.
To save a child's life, Lupe will have to do battle with Betancourt, deal with some very unsavory characters, and venture to the island of her dreams—Lupe's ancestral home of Cuba. Getting into the country will be difficult... But getting out might be impossible.
Praise for Carolina Garcia-Aguilera
"A talent worth watching." —Kirkus
"Lupe and her eccentric family (a bodybuilding cousin; a dad who keeps a boat provisioned for the day when Castro falls; a sister who's a nun) have a charm that bodes well for future outings." —Publishers Weekly
"Immediately engaging, written in a witty, straightforward style spiced by Lupe's wry observations on Cuban-American family life." —Miami Herald
