Genre: Mystery
A
Cuban American woman searches for her long-lost mother and fights to
restore a beautiful but crumbling Art Deco home in the heart of
Havana in this moving, immersive new mystery, perfect for fans of Of
Women and Salt.
Newly
widowed baker Mercedes Spivey flies from Miami to her native Cuba in
2019 to care for her ailing paternal grandmother. Mercedes’s life
has been shaped by loss, beginning with the mysterious unsolved
disappearance of her mother when Mercedes was a little girl.
Returning to Cuba revives Mercedes’s hopes of finding her mother as
she attempts to piece together the few scraps of information
she has. Could her mother still be alive?
Thirty-three
years earlier, in 1986, an American college student with endless
political optimism falls deliriously in love with a handsome Cuban
soldier while on a spontaneous visit to the island. She decides to
stay permanently, but soon discovers that nothing is as it seems
in
Havana.
The two women’s stories proceed in
parallel as Mercedes gets closer to the truth about her mother,
uncovering shocking family secrets in the process . . .

Death Under the Perseids
A Havana Mystery
(Prequel to Last Seen in Havana)
There’s
no such thing as a free cruise in Cuban American author Teresa
Dovalpage's addictively clever new Havana mystery.
Cuban-born
Mercedes Spivey and her American husband, Nolan, win a five-day
cruise to Cuba. Although the circumstances surrounding the prize seem
a little suspicious to Mercedes, Nolan’s current unemployment and
their need to spice up their marriage make the decision a no-brainer.
Once aboard, Mercedes is surprised to see two people she met through
her ex-boyfriend Lorenzo: former University of Havana professor Selfa
Segarra and down-on-his-luck Spanish writer Javier Jurado. Even
stranger: they also received a free cruise.
When Selfa
disappears on their first day at sea, Mercedes and Javier begin to
wonder if their presence on the cruise is more than coincidence.
Mercedes confides her worries to her husband, but he convinces her
that it’s all in her head.
However, when Javier dies
under mysterious circumstances after disembarking in Havana, and
Nolan is nowhere to be found, Mercedes scrambles through the city
looking for him, fearing her suspicions were correct all along.
