Miami PI Lupe Solano gets drawn into a religious mystery that could roil the Cuban community-on both sides of the Florida straits . . .
Being summoned by a Mother Superior brings back a lot of bad memories from Lupe Solano's Catholic school experience; it's only as a favor to her older sister, a nun, that she agrees to the meeting at all. A mysterious European order has appeared in Miami, one that can boast certifiable miracles in its past-and is now predicting a new one: On the Cuban Day of Independence, the statue of the Virgin of Our Lady of Charity will cry real tears.
This is a direct hit to the Cuban soul, and a suspicious Lupe agrees to help debunk the miracle before it happens. Just when she's able to justify spying on nuns, Lupe finds one drowned in a baptismal font-and that's only the beginning of a case that will make Lupe question whether she's on the side of the angels or devils . . .
"Witty, bubbly, sexy and suspenseful . . . a first-rate mystery." -The Plain Dealer
"A memorable tale of Cuban-American life, this novel boasts an engaging plot and a fiery heroine armed with sharp insights into Cuban and Catholic ways that will lead readers happily into the sultry heat of Little Havana." -Publishers Weekly
