Red Fish

In Miami's Little Havana, a journalist is executed with a single bullet between the eyes on a quiet street. The shooter is a professional and the only man willing to investigate is Comanche, a self-described ex-investigator whose moral compass points somewhere between justice and survival.

What begins as a straightforward off-the-books investigation pulls Comanche into a web of cockfighting rings, Cuban exile secrets, a widow with something to hide, and a killer who crossed an ocean for a debt that was never going to be forgiven.

Red Fish is the sixth installment in the Comanche series, which has already produced five novels published in Spanish to strong critical reception. In 2018, Varsovia won a Florida Book Award, and the English translation of El Blues del Comanche, published in English as Comanche P.I., was named Best Book of the Year by Miami New Times in 2025.

PRAISE FOR RED FISH

"Red Fish brings back Comanche in another brilliant and fast-paced novel. And Comanche is Miami, the city he carries everywhere: into the hands of those who read for pure pleasure and into college classrooms, offering students an authentic lesson in true Miamería. With this latest installment, Pedro Medina León reaffirms his place as a leading chronicler of a 'promised land' with a thousand faces and just as many stories."

Teresa Dovalpage, author of the acclaimed Havana Mystery series
