Havana Gold
Autor Leonardo Paduraen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2008
1. The previous three Padura novels, Havana Red, Havana Black, and Havana Blue were widely praised in the US and the UK and are in their third reprints. They are Bitter Lemon's best selling titles with sales of over 50,000. 2. An insiders view: Padura lives in Cuba, writes often scathing novels about post-revolutionary Cuba that are uncensored, perhaps because they are also tight, sensual mystery novels. Not another strident novel by an embittered Florida exile but an insightful tale of loving disillusionment. 3. Padura's masterful prose and eye for detail evoke the crumbling architecture, peeling paintwork and a pulsating, searing sensuality beneath the tropical sun of Havana.

Descriere
24 year old Lissette Delgado was beaten, raped and then strangled with a towel. Marijuana is found in her apartment and her wardrobe is suspiciously beyond the means of a high school teacher. Lieutenant Conde is pressured by the highest authority' to conclude this investigation quickly when chance leads him into the arms of a beautiful redhead. This is a Havana of crumbling, grand buildings, secrets hidden behind faded doors and corruption. This is as much a eulogy for Cuba, its life of sex, music and great friendships as it is a story of a murder investigation.'
