About This Book
It's the beginning of the 1957 tourist season in Havana, and Americans are flocking to the Pearl of the Antilles. The Paradise Inn may not be the swankiest hotel, but its owners, Slane and Babs Hannigan, accommodate their guests' every need, including a motor yacht for hire, the Valiant Queen, and a private detective agency run by their third partner, Ash Hunter. Business is good and their rooms are full, but a series of characters suddenly turn their world upside down. Stolen jewels that once belonged to Eva Peron; a mysterious package that a ruthless Mafia boss is searching for; a cheating husband—this tourist season will be like no other. This is colorful Havana at its best. The Tropicana, Sloppy Joe's, and the Mob casinos are some of the backdrops for mystery, suspense, and murder. Park your new '57 Buick, order up a Daiquiri, put your legs up, and sit back—the show is about to begin!
