Publisher's Synopsis

Lieutenant Mario Conde is suffering from a terrible New Year's Eve hangover. Though it's the middle of a weekend, he is asked to urgently investigate the mysterious disappearance of a high level business manager in the Cuban nomenklatura. Rafael Morin had been a student with Conde, good-looking, brilliant, a |reliable comrade| who always got what he wanted, including Tamara the girl Conde was after. While pursuing the case in a decaying but adored Havana, Conde confronts his lost love for Tamara and the dreams and illusions of his generation.
