Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

.Our sixth Inspector Mario Conde mystery novel, to follow on from the success of the Havana Quartet and other Conde mysteries published by BLP. .The first four Conde novels are now on Netflix as the much-acclaimed series Four Seasons in Havana. . Padura has received tremendous coverage for his recent novels and has been praised as ' As Cuba's greatest living writer and one who is inching toward the pantheon occupied by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario VargasLlosa, Padura may well now be untouchable". -Ann Louise Bardach, The Washington Post . A short, punchy, suspenseful crime novel and an ode to Padura's beloved, ravaged island. . As ever with Padura, the story is soaked in atmosphere: the drinking of rum in deliciously smoke-filled bars, the friendships, the food and beautiful women. The story is set against the fascinating and poignant history of Chinese immigration to Cuba.
