Just when one mystery is solved, another begins. The book sizzles with Miami's heat and grit. Cutural and political wars are played out against the backdrop of posh art deco hotels and seedy shantytowns.
Many plots are at work.
Two exiled Cuban leaders, Juan Carlos Reyes and Jorge Bravo, are dominating Miami headlines. Each is waging a personal war for a free Cuba as the Castro regime is crumbling at last. Britt Montero, a half-Cuban, chooses to avoid the island's fiery political affairs. But she reluctantly accepts an assignment to write an intimate profile of the dynamic Reyes. The strange connections and misapprehensions that result begin as intriguing but become overwhelmingly complicated.
