Lupe dabbles with Catholicism and the phenomenon of revealed miracles in this the fourth book in the Lupe Solano series. The Order of the Illumination of the Sacred Virgin, a Miami Catholic order that has produced verified miracles in the past, prophesies that the statue of the Virgin at a revered Cuban shrine will shed actual tears on the anniversary of Cuban independence. Lupe s sister Lourdes, a rather unorthodox nun at another Miami order, enlists her sister s help to investigate the truth of this claim. Lupe suspects more than possible fraud is involved when the order s enigmatic sister Mary Margaret disappears and a corpse is fished out of Miami s Biscayne Bay. As the date of the predicted miracle draws nearer, Lupe races against time to find the truth…and a killer. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.
