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 . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Sexy.\" --\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Fascinating . . . witty . . . compelling.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Miami Herald\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Carolina Garcia-Aguilera adds a long-awaited voice to the South Florida panoply of crime writers.
