Description: A classic detective story that explores the last years of Hemingway's life evoking both Cuba and this giant of American letters with enormous skill and wit. When the bones of a man murdered forty years earlier surface on the Havana estate of Ernest Hemingway writer and ex - cop Mario Conde is called in to investigate. As he unearths the truth of the night of 3 October 1958, he is forced to come to terms with a very different side to his former literary hero. Padura Fuentes switches between Conde's world and that of Hemingway's Cuba four decades earlier; in the heat and rum haze the two seem slowly to merge. In an extraordinary journey into the past and into the personality of one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic and powerful writers a masterful and totally convincing portrait emerges as well as a riveting mystery that will keep you in suspense until the very final pages.
