Havana Bay (Arkady Renko Novels)

By Smith, Martin J. & Lang, Stephen J.

Publishers Summary:
The body, what was left of it, was drifting in Havana Bay the morning Arkady arrived from Moscow. Only the day before, he had received an urgent message from the Russian embassy in Havana saying that his friend Pribluda was missing and asking that he come. The Cubans insisted that this corpse floating in an inner tube was Pribluda, but Arkady wasn't so sure. And he didn't think that floating in an inner tube was a natural way for a Russian to die."You don't investigate assault, you don't investigate murder. Just what do you investigate?" Arkady asks Ofelia Osorio, a detective in the Polic'a Nacional de la Revoluc'on. "Or is it simply open season on Russians in Havana?" The comrades of the Cold War have parted bitterly, and the Russians who used to swarm through Havana's streets are now as rare as they are despised. But the dead Russian is followed by the murders of a Cuban boxer and a prostitute. Although none of them is supposed to be investigated, Arkady cannot be stopped. He speaks no Spanish, knows nothing about Cuba, and, as a Russian, is a pariah. However, there is something about this faded, lovely, dangerous city-the rhythms of waves against the seawall, the insinuation of music always in the air, and, finally, Ofelia herself-that plunges Arkady back into life.Reader Bio: Stephen Lang's theater work includes roles on Broadway in Hamlet, A Few Good Men, and the revival of Death of a Salesman. He has appeared in the films The Hard Way, Another You, and Last Exit to Brooklyn. He has previously read The Last Full Measure and Gods and Generals for Random House AudioBooks.
