Bloody Secrets

Third in the Miami mystery series featuring "spicy, sassy, and thoroughly modern" Cuban-American PI Lupe Solano, taking on a case that could make or break her (The Austin Chronicle).

In 1950s Havana, two men were successful business partners with everything to lose when Fidel Castro came to power. One fled and started over in Miami. The other ended up a political prisoner. And now the son of that prisoner has made his way to South Florida, ready to claim his promised legacy from the family that betrayed his.


When Luis Delgado comes to Lupe Solano's investigation agency, she's pretty sure that he can't afford her, but she's willing to listen. His tale of crossing to Florida on a makeshift raft, theft, and attempted murder implicates one of Miami's most powerful Cuban-American families. Going up against them—and losing—would destroy everything Lupe has built for herself. But she's never been afraid of risk. And now, in one of the hottest cities in the world, she'll find herself walking on thin ice . . .
