About this listen

A secret list and a nine-fingered man push Acapulco’s first female police detective to the edge in this exciting companion to the award-winning Detective Emilia Cruz mystery series.

After she stops a gang attack in an upscale neighborhood, Emilia discovers a black notebook with a list of names, numbers, and dates. Convinced it is a list of dirty cops, Emilia knows she’s in danger.

In a police department riddled with corruption, how long until someone finds out she has the list and comes gunning for her?

Meanwhile, the head of the police union initiates an internal investigation, all but accusing Emilia of taking a bribe from a drug gang. Playing all the angles, he makes a fateful offer.

For a deceptively high price, he’ll make the investigation go away.

As Emilia’s career as a police detective teeters on the brink of disaster, a gruesome discovery is made at the Acapulco morgue. One of the dead attackers wears a grafted finger from another man.

Suddenly, a wave of false identities and criminal intrigue engulfs the entire investigation.

When Emilia finally finds the author of the list, the riptide could carry them both away.

An enjoyable, unique 4 1/2 star read

The Listmaker of Acapulco: A Detective Emilia Cruz Novella, my first read from author Carmen Amato. A 127-page/3-hour 26-minute virtual voice Noir Crime thriller, part of the 9 book Detective Emilia Cruz series. “I received a free a free Audible virtual voice copy and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I own all 9 of this author's works in this series and look forward to reading more. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
