About the Book

Is Acapulco's first female police detective the next target of a ruthless cop killer? It's a serial killer thriller with a spicy Mexican twist from the award-winning Detective Emilia Cruz series.

"A thrilling series." -- National Public Radio

Someone is killing law enforcement officers who worked with Detective Emilia Cruz. When her partner's wife is murdered in a home invasion, Emilia fears that he was the intended target of the so-called El Trio killer.

Instead of leading the investigation, Emilia is shocked to be reassigned to the mayor's pet project-an all-female patrol unit. It's a career-ending political disaster that forces Emilia to watch from the sidelines as the police fumble the El Trio investigation and send her partner to jail.

Meanwhile, is boyfriend Kurt Rucker concealing a dark past?

Left without a winning hand, Emilia will gamble everything to find the killer before she's the next victim.

Once the glittering playground of Hollywood's Rat Pack, Acapulco now enjoys the highest homicide rate in Mexico thanks to druglords like El Chapo. 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, as well as the Department Q novels and 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.

2019 Poison Cup award, Outstanding Series -- CrimeMasters of America

"Danger and betrayal never more than a few pages away." -- Kirkus Reviews
