Bold and beautiful Miami PI Lupe Solano takes on a case that began long ago but is just about to end in a murder…
In 1958, as Cuba’s revolution was underway, two wealthy men made a pact to sell all they had and flee the country from fear of a newly empowered Cuban population. One was able to escape with his fortune intact, while the other ended up dying in prison as an enemy of the state.
Now, the dead man’s son, Luis Delgado, has arrived in Miami—and he aims to finally claim his family’s lost fortune from Miguel de la Torre. After being rebuffed by his father’s longtime friend, Luis asks Lupe Solano to investigate.
At first, Lupe is unsure of the veracity of Luis Delgado’s claims. Yet the more she uncovers, the more she finds herself determined to seek justice for him. The problem is that the de la Torres clan is one of the oldest and most powerful Cubano families in the city. And they are quite willing to remove anyone who threatens to take them down. Even a fellow Cuban exile with excellent detective skills…
