With suspense straight out of the news, this award-winning bilingual tale of the first female police detective in Acapulco takes you inside Mexico's drug war with a fearless style and a woman who will be hard to forget.

2019 Silver Falchion Award, Best Story/Collection

Detective Emilia Cruz goes undercover as an art teacher in a school facing a terrifying extortion threat. Yet even as Emilia investigates, repeated threats pressure the staff, resulting in a twist of fate no one saw coming.

THE ARTIST/EL ARTISTA is an illustrated short story in both English and Spanish that can be both a language learning tool and a resource for studying contemporary Mexico. It was inspired by the true efforts of Mexican poet Javier Sicilia following the murder of his son to bring awareness to the plight of families impacted by the drug war violence.

Acapulco, once the glittering playground of Hollywood's Rat Pack, now has the highest homicide rate in Mexico. Loaded with intrigue and action, the Detective Emilia Cruz police procedural mystery series takes on cartels, corruption and social inequality.
