by **Martin Cruz Smith** (Author)

**A _NEW YORK TIMES_ NOTABLE BOOK - Arkady Renko journeys to Havana to solve a murder with globe-spanning repercussions in this "irresistible" (_USA Today_) mystery from the bestselling author of _Gorky Park_**

**"Martin Cruz Smith is the American literary equivalent of Britain's master thriller writer, John le Carré."--_Minneapolis Star Tribune_**

When the corpse of a Russian is hauled from the oily waters of Havana Bay, Arkady Renko comes to Cuba to identify the body. Looking for the killer, he discovers a city of faded loneliness, unexpected danger, and bewildering contradictions. His investigation introduces him to a beautiful Cuban policewoman; to the rituals of Santeria; to an American fugitive and a group of ruthless mercenaries. In this place where all things Russian are despised, where Hemingway fished and the KGB flourished, where the hint of music is always in the air, Arkady finds a trail of deceit that reaches halfway around the world--and a reason to relish his own life again.
