The Willie Cuesta Mystery series follows a Cuban-American private investigator working in Miami’s diverse Latin neighborhoods. Willie specializes in cases that touch on the immigrant experience, from political exiles to undocumented workers to families torn apart by borders.
John Lantigua draws on his Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism covering Latin America to create mysteries grounded in cultural authenticity. The series spans over two decades, with cases that reflect changing issues in the Latino community while maintaining Willie’s role as a investigator who understands both the dangers and the humanity of his clients’ situations.
