Acapulco, the fabled resort city known for nightclubs and cliff divers, now has the highest homicide rate in Mexico. The Detective Emilia Cruz series takes on cartels, corruption and social inequality. It’s not just a walk on the beach.
After 30 years as a CIA intelligence officer, Carmen Amato writes mysteries and thrillers loaded with intrigue and action.
Readers who love police procedural series by Ian Rankin, Jo Nesbo, Ann Cleeves, Peter May, and Jussi Adler-Olsen, as well as Don Winslow's cartel and border thrillers set in Mexico, also love Detective Emilia Cruz’s complex plots, fast action, pulse-pounding suspense, and exotic location.
“Emilia . . . is a force to be reckoned with . . . I loved Hat Dance just as much as Cliff Diver” – MysterySequels.com
“A story far richer than the thriller-factories of the big publishing houses. If she continues writing this series, I’ll keep reading it.”– LibraryThing
