    About this series

    Acapulco never had a female police detective before. No one wants one now.

    Emilia Cruz is determined to rise to the top of her profession, despite the Mexican drug cartels bloodying Acapulco streets, corrupt officials being paid off with drug money, and resentful fellow cops determined to push her out.

    But Emilia is a good investigator, a tough kickboxer, and an excellent liar. She can take the heat.

    MADE IN ACAPULCO puts the iconic resort city on display in 5 short stories showcasing Emilia's debut as the first female police detective in Acapulco. With suspense straight out of the news, the stories take you inside Mexico's drug war with a fearless style and a woman who will be hard to forget.

    The stories include The Beast from Huffpost's 50 Featured Fiction showcase curated by actress and producer Rita Wilson, and The Artist, winner of the 2019 Silver Falchion Award from Killer Nashville.

    Written by a former Central Intelligence Agency officer with counterdrug experience, the characters jump off the page and show you what it takes to survive as an honest cop in Mexico.
