Hat Dance, a Detective Emilia Cruz novel

Imagine if you were the first and only female police detective in Acapulco, investigating crime in a city both breathtaking and deadly. Mexican drug cartels battle for control and politicians are bought with blood money.

Your partner once vowed to destroy you. Your new lieutenant is a drunk. Your lover might leave Acapulco.

And then the restaurant you just left blows up.

That’s the situation for Detective Emilia Cruz in HAT DANCE, the second book in the sensational police procedural series taking the mystery scene by storm. Terrified by her nightmares of the restaurant fire and shaken by norteamericano hotel manager Kurt Rucker’s possible move, Emilia must catch a violent firebomber and find a missing girl before the iconic beach city is destroyed.
