When a human skeleton is discovered on Ernest Hemingway's home in
Havana, police inspector Mario Conde is called up out of retirement
to unearth the truth. In the course of his investigations, Conde
gradually reconstructs the mysterious goings-on of the night of 3rd
October 1958 and in doing so is forced to come to terms with a very
different side to the character of his former literary hero. Padura
Fuentes cleverly cuts 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 as the reader is taken on an extraordinary journey
into the past and into the personality of one of the twentieth
century's most enigmatic and interesting writers. It's a masterful
and totally convincing portrait that emerges, as well as a riveting
mystery that keeps the reader on tenterhooks until the very final
pages.
