Publisher's Synopsis
Macduff Brooks and his new bride, Lucinda, are enjoying a Montana summer when they read in the N.Y.Times that Juan Mendoza, a member of Congress in D.C. from New Mexico, has disappeared while fly fishing in Cuba. Lucinda earlier had been asked by a Canadian travel magazine to go to Cuba and photograph author Ernest Hemingway's favorite places. With the aid of Dan Wilson and Juan's sister, Elena, also a member of Congress but from Connecticut, Macduff and Lucinda are soon off on a new adventure. Cuba proves to be as outstanding a venue for bonefish, tarpon, and permit, as it is a venue for mystery and intrigue. For the first time in their many adventures, no one appears seriously interested in killing either of them. But they become increasingly involved as more murders are attempted or completed. Both are enamored by the beautiful island, but perplexed by the paradoxes that Cubans face in their lives.
