Acapulco’s first female police detective dives into an ocean of secrets, lies, and murder when she investigates her own lieutenant’s death.
CLIFF DIVER kicks off the award-winning Detective Emilia Cruz police procedural series set in Acapulco. Once Hollywood’s playground, the city is now Mexico’s murder capital. Drug cartels and street gangs, not to mention city corruption and dirty cops, complicate every crime.
Emilia Cruz clawed her way to become the first female police detective in Acapulco but the job comes with a lieutenant out to get her. The other detectives cheer him on . . . and have sabotage plans of their own.
When the lieutenant is murdered, Emilia is assigned to lead the investigation. Soon the man’s sordid sex life, money laundering, and involvement in a kidnapping double-cross combine to create an ugly mess no one wants exposed.
The high profile murder case could wreck Emilia’s career, which is probably why she got the case. Under pressure from Acapulco’s ambitious mayor and the head of the police union, Emilia faces the ultimate choice. Truth or survival?
Either way, this diver won’t be ready for the shock of the water.
Neither will you.
