Bloody Waters by Carolina Garcia-Aguilera is a Crime & Mystery title available in paperback book format. 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.
