Murder at the Taco Truck - A Mystery Thriller

For thirty years, Lupita Morales has fed Boyle Heights from her taco truck on César Chávez Avenue. Then one night a powerful real estate developer is found dead beside her truck, killed with her own cast-iron tortilla press.

The police have her fingerprints, a motive and a witness. The developer’s partner says “the taco lady makes the perfect suspect.”

But Lupita has a grandson who knows his way around a phone, a rival taquero who becomes an unlikely ally, and a whole neighborhood that won’t let her go down. As she asks the questions nobody else will, she uncovers forged deeds, dead people’s stolen signatures and a $280 million plan to erase her community. She also uncovers a truth that hits much closer to home than she ever imagined.

A warm, gripping mystery about friendship, loyalty and the people who keep a neighborhood alive. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with real heart and real suspense.
