Summary of this Book...
Arkady Renko, the hero of "Gorky Park", goes to Cuba to investigate the murder of an old friend. He finds Cuba alive with music, sex and political intrigue. Arkady once again becomes entangled in a twisted murder plot that may, if he's not careful, kill him and the young Cuban investigator he teams with.
This type of Book is good for...
Anyone who likes a decent mystery.
I especially liked...
The descriptions of Cuba, Santeria and how the Cubans, limited in their resources, have developed ways of their own, "The Cuban Way", to investigate murders.
I didn't like...
The ending left a little bit to be desired. Arkady ends up alone, as always, wrestling with his solitary lifestyle.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read more Arkady Renko mysteries.
This Book made me feel...
Like going to Cuba.
The author of this Book...
Martin Cruz Smith's descriptions and dialogue are fantastic. He seems to know Cuba and seems intimate with his main character, Arkady Renko.
I recommend this Book because...
It's not literary genius, but it's a fast read and vastly entertaining.
Further Comments...
There is some sex in this book and a lot of violence. I would not recommend it to people who are bothered by such things.
