About the Nina Guerrera series

FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera survived being kidnapped and held captive as a teenager -- an ordeal that ended when she killed her captor and escaped -- and now hunts violent predators for the Bureau, using the same instincts that once helped her survive. The Cipher (2020) has Guerrera going undercover to catch a serial killer live-streaming his crimes; A Different Dawn (2021) and The Falcon (2022) continue the trilogy with cases that echo Guerrera's own trauma.

Isabella Maldonado, a former Phoenix police commander, brings the same procedural authenticity to Guerrera's FBI work that she established with her earlier Veranda Cruz series, and the trilogy's success led directly into her follow-up FBI series starring Daniela Vega.

Frequently asked questions

How many Nina Guerrera books are there?

Three: The Cipher (2020), A Different Dawn (2021) and The Falcon (2022).

Is Nina Guerrera connected to Isabella Maldonado's other series?

No -- it's a separate FBI-set trilogy from her Veranda Cruz police series and her later Daniela Vega FBI series, though all three showcase her law-enforcement background.

Is the Nina Guerrera trilogy complete?

Yes -- it concluded with The Falcon in 2022 and no further entry has been announced.

Is Isabella Maldonado's own law-enforcement background reflected in this series?

Yes -- Maldonado was a Phoenix police commander for over 20 years before retiring to write full-time, and that procedural experience informs Guerrera's FBI casework throughout the trilogy.
