A body is found in a Havana park. A young transvestite dressed in a beautiful red evening dress, strangled. The victim had fled his family, finding refuge with Marques, an author living alone surrounded only by books, his house in ruins.
The first of the Havana quartet featuring lieutenabt Mario Conde, a tropical Marlowe. Padura''s masterful prose and eye for detail evoke the Havana that millions of tourists have come to know: crumbling architecture, peeling paintwork and a pulsating, searing sensuality beneath the tropical sun. Conde is thrown into a tangled web of mysticism, politics and subversive activity. Captured perfectly in Padura''s seamy, heat-soaked pages.'' - The Guardian''
