43 Missing: A Detective Emilia Cruz Novel

Brilliantly narrated by Leanne Maksin, 43 Missing takes you on an adrenaline-fueled ride when Detective Emilia Cruz investigates Mexico’s most notorious true crime.

“Astounding .. . a haunting page-turner.” – Nightstand Reviews

In the midst of a personal crisis, Acapulco police detective Emilia Cruz finds herself in Mexico City, part of a national task force examining the disappearance of 43 college students from a city in central Mexico.

A conspiracy of silence shrouds the investigation. Nobody expects to find out how the 43 students disappeared. Nobody expects to make an arrest.

As the taskforce heads to the scene of the crime, a supposedly trustworthy diplomat offers Emilia $50,000 to end the investigation. The offer raises profound questions of loyalty, conscience, and her future as an honest cop.

43 MISSING is compelling crime fiction based on the true events of September 2014, when 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers College were the victims of a mass kidnapping. Carmen Amato's masterful storytelling solves the crime, which in real life remains shrouded in mystery.
