After a quickie marriage, Miami lawyers Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana travel to Havana to honeymoon, staying at his sister, Marta's, house. Marta is married to General Ramirez Vega, a rising star in Castro's government, and someone the CIA wants Anthony to convince to defect so he can confirm information given to them by someone else. William Dufris provides unique voices for a myriad of characters and endless energy for plenty of action. Descriptions of Havana's fifty-year-old exhaust-spewing cars and its beautiful but crumbling architecture come alive in Dufris's narration. Most importantly, Dufris's voice draws the listener into the heart of the story, Anthony's love for the country he was forced to leave when he was a teen. K.A.T. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine--

From Booklist
Well, here's a surprise: Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana, who have been edging ever closer to marriage through several episodes in Parker's Suspicion series, have finally done the deed--tied the knot during a weekend trip to the Florida Keys, much to the consternation of their respective families. Now they are planning a jaunt to Cuba, Anthony's homeland, but the trip is complicated when the CIA asks Anthony to pass on a message to his brother-in-law, a general, who may be the target of an assassination plot. Further muddling matters, one of the assassins may be the son of two of Anthony's closest friends. This series has been around for a while, but it hasn't yet reached the point where the characters feel too familiar or its plots have drifted into formula. The interpersonal dynamics between Connor and Quintana remain sharp, and the Florida setting continues to add to the appeal. If Parker keeps writing them as smartly as she has written this one, her series may never turn stale.
