Bitter Sugar

“Strong, sexy, and funny” (Nelson DeMille) Miami PI Lupe Solano investigates a mystery involving big money, big business, and someone willing to kill over them both… Though Lupe Solano loves her work as a private investigator in Miami, family always takes precedent. So when her beloved Papi asks her to use her talents to help an old friend, she can hardly refuse. Papi’s compadre, Ramon Suarez, owned several profitable sugar mills in Cuba prior to the revolution. Now, after decades in exile, a secretive buyer from Spain is looking to officially purchase the mills from the Suarez family on the cheap. While Ramon wants to know the reason why before accepting the offer, his nephew Alexander wants the cash. So, when Alexander turns up dead, it appears that Ramon may have taken a family feud a step too far. But Lupe doesn’t believe the accusations against Ramon are fool-proof. When a mysterious figure tries to stop Lupe from investigating further, she becomes more determined to uncover the truth behind a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the Suarez family—and Lupe along with them. Praise for Carolina Garcia-Aguilera “Private eye Lupe Solano has developed a snappy style.” —New York Times “This is Garcia-Aguilera at her best. A former private investigator, she is expert at using Lupe’s questions, hunches and dogged pursuit of the case to keep the mystery unfolding and the plot driving forward.” —Miami Herald “In exploring the particulars of the exile community, the author especially makes Bitter Sugar a near-valentine to Miami.” —Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
