Beskrivelse
From the hot writer everybodys talking about the author of the sensational Havana Best Friends.Elliot Steill, the product of a brief union between his Cuban mother and an American-born labourer, is an unhappy teacher in Havana when a man claiming to be a friend of Steills deceased father arrives in Cuba and offers him the chance to escape. The plan goes dangerously amiss, and Steill is soon on the hunt through Miamis mean streets for the man who betrayed him. To find him, Steill first has to figure out why he was singled out, an exercise that has him mentally searching his past in Cuba for clues.The fast-paced story, which reveals as much about real life in Cuba as it does about the migr community in Miami, sees Steill transformed into a man of hair-trigger reactions as hes forced into playing an increasingly violent game of cat and mouse. In just one of the novels many twists, the teacher becomes the fast learner he has to be to navigate this new world of greed, corruption, and crime but also of compassion so unexpected it is wrenching.From the Trade Paperback edition.
