Edgar-nominated author Lia Matera'€™s seventh Willa Jansson mystery is packed with '€œa riveting plot, realistic Havana settings, reawakened romance, and flavorful characters'€¦a winner.'€ (Library Journal) Attorney Willa Jansson'€™s mother has never balked at breaking the law, especially not for a good cause. So when Willa learns her mother has flouted federal regulations and gone off to Cuba, she figures it's just a harmless pilgrimage to lefty Graceland. But when her mother doesn'€™t return with the rest of her peacenik tour group, Willa fears her mother'€™s bleeding heart may finally have gotten her into more trouble than she can get herself out of. But when Willa risks her career and passport by rushing to Cuba to retrace her mother'€™s steps, she finds that nothing there is quite as it seems. Following clues to neighborhoods tourists never see, through secret tunnels beneath the street, and into the finest luxury hotels, Willa is manipulated, misled, and nearly arrested. And in the meantime, newfound reporter friends'€”or are they CIA agents?'€”disappear as suddenly and inexplicably as her mother did. In a deadly game of cat and mouse, Willa follows her mother'€™s trail from Havana to Mexico City, from California back to Havana'€¦all the while keeping barely one step ahead of two angry governments and at least one ruthless killer.
