<b>“Garcia-Aguilera has created a new private eye named Lupe Solano, and what a creation she is—strong, sexy, funny, and Miami-smart.” —Nelson DeMille, #1 <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling author</b><br>  <br> Guadalupe Solano was raised learning about Cuba from her immigrant parents. But all Lupe knows is that growing up in a traditional Cuban-American household in Miami hasn’t been easy for a woman with an independent streak and no desire to settle down. Being single and a PI is a constant test of her close-knit family’s tolerance . . .<br>  <br> Nevertheless, Lupe is good at her job—and has a soft spot for children, even if she doesn’t want any of her own. So when the adoptive parents of a young girl with an inherited rare blood condition want Lupe to find their daughter’s birth mother for a bone marrow transplant, she can’t refuse. The adoption was private—and illegal—facilitated by a high-profile Miami attorney running a baby-selling scheme from Cuba. Lupe will go to any lengths to save this girl’s life, even if it means her first-ever trip to the homeland just might be her last . . .<br><br> “Sexy.” —<i>Chicago Tribune</i><br>  <br> “Fascinating . . . witty . . . compelling.” —<i>The Miami Herald</i><br>  <br> “Carolina Garcia-Aguilera adds a long-awaited voice to the South Florida panoply of crime writers. Cuban-born Lupe Solano is a bright and sassy PI, and <i>Bloody Waters</i> provides an auspicious debut. Welcome to the neighborhood Ms. Solano.” —Les Standiford, <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling author<br>  <br> “The Cuban-American Catholic background is a facet of Florida life not often explored in this genre. A talent worth watching.” —<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>
