Acapulco's only female police detective dives into an ocean of secrets, lies, and murder in this heart-stopping start to the Detective Emilia Cruz series from award-winning author Carmen Amato.

For lovers of international detective fiction by Ian Rankin, Jo Nesbo, and Peter May, as well as the Department Q series and Don Winslow's Mexican cartel thrillers.

"A thrilling series." -- National Public Radio

Emilia Cruz is the first female police detective in Acapulco. She fought her way into the job and she'll fight to stay, even if her lieutenant is a dirty cop and male colleagues are scheming to kick her out.

When the lieutenant is murdered, Emilia's slippery grip on the job is threatened. She's in charge of the investigation but his nasty sexual past, money crimes, and family scandals create an ugly mess no one wants exposed.

Pressure mounts to close the case. Emilia faces the ultimate choice.

Truth or survival?
