Bloody Secrets (Lupe Solano Mysteries)

(Miami P.I. Lupe Solano has been called "funny, sexy, and ...)

Miami P.I. Lupe Solano has been called "funny, sexy, and Miami-smart" by Nelson DeMille, and "an absolute joy" by The Miami Herald. Now the celebrated sleuth returns. In a sweeping story that takes readers from the last days of Batista's Havana, to the Guantanamo Bay refugee camp, to Miami's high society, Lupe takes the case of a balsero-a refugee who escaped Cuba by raft. Luis is a drifter living in a flophouse, but he claims Miami's most prominent Cuban couple has robbed his family and arranged for his murder. Lupe is instantly drawn to Luis, and his sense of honor. But the case becomes troubling when innocent people are killed and when her feelings for her client become more than professional. A page-turning mystery, a remarkable glimpse into the lives of all strata of Cuban-American society, and a fascinating look into the moral quandaries an investigator faces, Bloody Secrets is Garcia-Aguilera's boldest achievement yet.

(Bitter Sugar) By (author) Carolina Garcia-Aguilera published on (June, 2002)

(The dearest friend of Lupe Solana's beloved "Papi," Ramon...)

The dearest friend of Lupe Solana's beloved "Papi," Ramon Suarez was the owner of a prosperous sugar mill back in Cuba until Castro forced him into exile. Now an unnamed Spanish source wants to purchase the confiscated property at a fraction of its true value. Suarez wants the sexy, smart, hot-tempered South Florida P.I. to find out why, but Ramon's lazy, no-good nephew Alexander just wants to take the money and run. Then Alexander is found brutally slain in a sleazy Miami hotel -- his last known visitor, Tio Ramon, accused of murder. Lupe's routine journey down a paper trail now turns into something darker and more twisted, entangling her in a mysterious web of spun sugar and blood that will bring bullets smashing through her window and death to her door.

A Miracle in Paradise: A Lupe Solano Mystery (Lupe Solano Mysteries)

(Spirituality has never been Lupe Solano's strong point-un...)

Spirituality has never been Lupe Solano's strong point-unlike her sister Lourdes, a rather unorthodox nun. But the recently transplanted Order of the Illumination of the Sacred Virgin-a sisterhood well-known for having witnessed actual, Vatican-verified miracles- is predicting yet another miraculous event, scheduled to take place in Miami in one month's time. And Lourdes's Mother Superior has enlisted Lupe's services, hoping that the skeptical sleuth-for-hire can either substantiate the upcoming phenomenon's verity or expose a brazen hoax and its mastermind. October 10th is the date when the blessed icon at the Shrine of the Cuban Virgin will supposedly shed real tears-an occurrence that will electrify Miami's Cuban-American community and rock the nation and the world. Yet probable fraud, as far as Lupe is concerned, is the very least of the sins possibly being committed-a belief that is strengthened by the disappearance of the Order's enigmatic Sister Mary Margaret and the appearance of a dead body floating in the waters of Biscayne Bay. As the date of the anticipated wondrous event draws closer, Lupe's hunt for the truth and a killer becomes a race against time. For there is a dark secret being protected behind the convent's fortresslike walls. And more will surely die before the blessed Virgin weeps, unless one determined investigator can unveil an evil that may be taking refuge in the most sacred of places.

Magnolia

On a hot, sultry August afternoon, twenty-two-year-old Magnolia Larson finds herself sitting on a barstool at the Miami Sports Bar having to decide whether to remain in Miami or return home to Minneapolis. Suddenly, a very attractive, beautifully dressed woman sits down and identifies herself as a sports agent. Almost out of money and with no prospects of making any, Magnolia is intrigued by the sports agent's proposal to train as a "sports geisha," a high-priced hooker for elite athletes. If she accepts Magnolia would acquire skills that will serve her well throughout her life--learning languages, studying the pressures elite athletes are under with a sports psychologist, and getting into top-notch physical shape. The offer allows Magnolia to remain in Miami while enjoying a huge payday. But can a conservative Catholic girl from the Midwest transform herself into a courtesan?
 And if she does, at what personal cost?

Bloody Twist

(Bloody Twist is the seventh novel in the Bloody Series (t...)

Bloody Twist is the seventh novel in the Bloody Series (three murders per book or your money is refunded) featuring Lupe Solano, the Cuban-American private investigator who lives and works in Miami. Two years after having been shot, (Bitter Sugar), Lupe is back on the job, helping Tommy MacDonald, Miami’s premiere criminal defense attorney and sometime lover, with a case involving his new client, the mysterious Madeline Marie Meadows. Twenty-two year old Ms. Meadows is Miami’s highest paid call girl (her rate: $5,000. per hour), expensive, to be sure, especially in light of the fact that she is a virgin. Although Ms. Meadows has not been charged with any crime, she has taken the precaution of retaining Mr. MacDonald because she feels that it is highly likely that she will be. Ms. Meadows reports that she has been interviewed by Miami Homicide Detective Maxwell Anderson in relation to the murders of two men she knows well: Dr. Steinberg, the ob-gyn who verifies that she is a virgin and Mr. Robinson, a wealthy developer who is her steady client. Although Tommy is drawn to his newest client- originally from Dubuque, Iowa, Ms. Meadows is gorgeous, with a natural blond beauty not often seen in Miami’s plastic surgery happy town- he is skeptical of her story, and asks Lupe to begin an investigation. In a race against time, Lupe finds herself conducting in effect, two investigations: the first, finding out who murdered three men; and the second, discovering who the ‘real’ Madeline Marie Meadows really is. Along the way, Lupe has to deal with such diverse elements as Napoleon and Josephine, Ms. Meadow’s killer Chihuahuas, as well as the Loredo twins, Ms. Meadows’ pimps, marketing geniuses who thought up the hook of labeling her as ‘Miami’s highest paid call girl who is a virgin’. Lupe enlists the help of her friend, Sweet Suzanne, the well-known Miami madam, and Nestor, the crack investigator to achieve that goal.
