Fernando Fernandez
Author
Paradise Undercover

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

In 2014, Fernando Fernandez, P.I. found out some rather inconvenient information about his father-in-law's murder. As his 10 years of wedded bliss largely relied on his leaving this matter alone, this put him in a difficult situation. At the time, Fernandez was a respected and sought after investigator who had dealt with every type of case imaginable. His big break started came 2008, when he defied his world-famous mentor and surprisingly received a flood of international work as a result. Then his caseload turned upside down: - A drug lackey dying in a hospital and the family that required proof of his illness - A missing airplane in the Caribbean with a story more interesting than any cargo - A dead foreigner with no identifying papers, and no one to claim his body. With an office crew as interesting as his cases, Fernandez plowed through his work with zeal and passion, until he had to face his father-in-law's murder again. Now more than 20 years cold, the case lay forgotten in the vaults of some police warehouse, and his wife no longer wanted to know anything about it. Would she agree to let him reopen the case? Will he be able to find the truth?

Private Investigator Fernando Fernandez is an internationally recognized private investigator well know for his insider knowledge of Puerto Rico and the region.  He is also the only Board Certified Criminal Defense Investigator operating in the entire Caribbean!  My own experience with Fernando reveals that his professional standards and ethics are beyond reproach.  He is tenacious in his pursuit of the truth and leaves no stone unturned during the course of his investigations.  Fernando has enjoyed a truly exciting career as private investigator and his stories of adventure and intrigue are as educational as they are entertaining!

While there are many private investigators throughout the world, there are those who clearly stand out amongst their peers. Fernando Fernandez is such an investigator, recognized internationally as the “go to” private investigator for Puerto Rico. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with Fernando on several projects and have always been amazed at the amount of information he has been able to acquire and the professionalism he puts into every assignment he works on. Conducting investigations in Puerto Rico and in the Caribbean offers many unique challenges and Fernando shares his many stories and in a truly enjoyable and entertaining way.

Paradise Undercover reads like a cross between Ellery Queen and Magnum, P.I.  To any unsuspecting reader, this unlikely hero –Fernando Fernández– and his sordid cast of characters and situations might seem just like a figment of the author’s imagination.  But is it? You might be surprised.  Very entertaining and even hilarious at times!

Paradise Undercover: The Adventures of the Caribbean's Top Private Investigator is a private investigator mystery novel written by Fernando Fernandez. The collection of sleuthing jobs contained in this book are fictionalized versions of the author's own cases. He's a private investigator based in Puerto Rico, but his cases have taken him to other Caribbean locales, as well as to the United States. When the reader first meets Fernandez, he's conducting surveillance of a husband whose wife is convinced he's cheating on her. This covert operation takes a hilarious turn when the beleaguered, bored and desperate detective attempts unsuccessfully to relieve himself at the same time that a pack of dogs descends upon his minivan, and a police car pulls up behind him with roof lights flashing. So much, he thinks, for covert action, but, to his surprise, the subject of the investigation actually leaves the house with his girlfriend and continues romancing her in full view of the surprised private detective and his camera.Fernando Fernandez's private detective novel, Paradise Undercover: The Adventures of the Caribbean's Top Private Investigator, is fascinating reading. How does an IT person end up as a private eye? Fernandez's stories show just how much brain work and resourcefulness is needed for a successful independent sleuth to survive, and it quickly became apparent to me that the two occupations - though quite different - would require similar intellectual skills, along with a healthy dose of native curiosity and ethics. I enjoyed and appreciated the wide range of cases that the author describes in this book. There's that initial mundane domestic investigation, but then the action heats up as Fernandez investigates corruption in high places and braves locations where lives are casually disposed of. There's also a satisfying amount of humor to be found within these pages which adds a whole other dimension to this very authentic and human novel. I had a marvelous time reading about Fernandez's exploits, good deeds and adventures and hope to see further works by this author. Paradise Undercover: The Adventures of the Caribbean's Top Private Investigator is most highly recommended.

This is a book that is long overdue. Fernando Fernandez has been a friend and colleague for many years, and so I have had the pleasure of watching Fernando bring his unique skills and dedication to bear on a wide variety of difficult cases. Private Investigators are a critical part of the justice system; they handle the cases that traditional law enforcement can't, or won't, pursue. A P.I. finds missing persons and witnesses, gathers evidence that frees the innocent and finds the guilty, reunites families, fights fraud, recovers stolen property and monies and makes victims whole again. Fernando has handled these types of cases, and more. This book, detailing selections from Fernando's extensive case files, will no doubt amaze and educate the reader.
