You think you know Linda Hurtado, Fox 13 anchor and award-winning journalist, but she has a secret life as a best-selling author and thriller writer under the name Linda Bond. Her newest book, All The Missing Girls, debuts 8/19 @6:30 pm. She will be at Oxford Exchange talking about the new book and signing books 8/20 @ TIME and also appear at Sleuthfest 9/26-29 at the Hilton Bayfront.

ABOUT THE BOOK Part spine-tingling mystery, part dark thriller, and totally bingeable, ALL THE MISSING GIRLS is the suspenseful book you’re looking for. The atmospheric setting jumps off the page and will transport you right into the nitty-gritty scene of Havana, Cuba, where Mari and her team race against time to find her missing sister.
As a crime reporter for a Tampa TV news station, Mari Alvarez knows when an investigation enters dangerous territory. But with her estranged sister missing and almost no information to go on, Mari can't trust anyone but herself to find the truth. Now she has just 48 hours to sneak into Cuba undetected, track down her sister…and pray to her orisha that she’s not too late. This is nothing like reporting in her neighborhood, though--a place she knows like the back of her hand. In Havana she has no contacts and only an ice-cold trail of cryptic clues. When Detective Tony Garcia offers to help, Mari puts aside her instincts and tries to let someone in. But soon they’re caught in a maze of lies, deception, and an undercurrent of the island's own witchcraft, a sinister Brujería. Every lead draws Mari further into this world of shadows, especially when her sister isn’t the only young woman who’s gone missing. Each step pushes Mari and Tony toward a revelation they never saw coming. And as they close in on the horrifying truth, one thing becomes clear…no one will let them leave Cuba alive.
STAY TUNED for Mari in Bond's next thriller set in Gasparilla, publishing Feb. 2025!
