Critics often compare Alex Abella to Elmore Leonard and Raymond Chandler. Readers are mesmerized by his daring explorations of good and evil. In this haunting new thriller, attorney and cult expert Charlie Morell, hero of The Killing of the Saints and Dead of Night, finds himself caught in a terrifying nightmare he can't escape -- accused of brutal murders he didn't commit.

In charge of his unusual legal defense is smart and sexy Mexican-American attorney Rita Carr -- a feisty addition to the ranks of female sleuths. Fighting gnawing doubts about each other every step of the way, Charlie and Rita work through a long list of enemies as they hunt for the killer. In the process, Charlie is forced to return to his native Cuba, where he plunges into the heart of dark of Havana.

Told from the perspectives of the two main characters, who keep their deepest secrets hidden from each other until the very end, Abella reaches new levels of suspense with Final Acts.
