The Lady from Buenos Aires

the long version

Lantigua's latest mystery focuses on Argentina's "dirty war," during which thousands of dissidents vanished or were murdered between the mid-1970s and the early 1980s. Here the Miami private eye is hired by Fiona Bonaventura to find her dead sister's missing daughter. Assuming there is a daughter. Fiona's sister disappeared more than 20 years ago, in Argentina, and there is no hard evidence she ever had a child, apart from Fiona's unshakable belief that she has tracked the girl to Miami.
