'Havana Gold': Lieutenant Conde goes on a trip through his childhood Havana haunts when a young female schoolteacher at his old school is murdered. And could it be that he has finally met the woman of his dreams? 'Havana Red': Conde's fondly-held prejudices are tested by this case involving a man found strangled in Havana Woods wearing a beautiful red dress. 'Havana Black': Conde has been suspended for taking a well-deserved pop at a fellow officer.
