"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 New York Times-bestselling author

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 . . .

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 . . .

"Sexy." --Chicago Tribune

"Fascinating . . . witty . . . compelling." --The Miami Herald

"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 Bloody Waters provides an auspicious debut. Welcome to the neighborhood Ms. Solano." --Les Standiford, New York Times-bestselling author

"The Cuban-American Catholic background is a facet of Florida life not often explored in this genre. A talent worth watching." --Kirkus Reviews
