Havana Bay a novel

"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."--BOOK COVER.

  • "The body, what was left of it, was drifting in Havana Bay the morning Arkady arrived from Moscow. The Cubans insisted that the body was his friend Pribluda, but Arkady wasn't so sure. Havana is a city of empty stones - not welcoming place if you're a Russian, particularly if you're a Russian investigating the death of another Russian."

Durante la búsqueda del asesino, Renko descubre una ciudad de soledad de soledad descolorida, peligro inesperado y contradicciones desconcertantes. Su investigación le llevará a descubrir a una bella policía cubana, así como los rituales de la santería, a un americano fugitivo y a unos mercenarios despiadados. En un lugar donde desdeñan cuanto huela a ruso, Hemingway se dedicó a la pesca, prosperó el KGB y la música está siempre en el aire, Renko encuentra el rastro de un engaño de envergadura mundial, y la razón para disfrutar otra vez de su propia vida. -- Cover, p.
