Description: Son of a Cuban mother and a U.S. laborer stationed on the island before the revolution, Elliot Steil is a down-and-out teacher in Havana, resigned to the tedium of his life. But hope resurfaces when Elliot is offered a "once-in-a-lifetime" chance to escape by a mysterious visitor who claims to be his late father's friend. When the stranger suddenly turns from savior to assassin, Elliot is left foundering in the waters of the Florida Straits. Surviving the ordeal, he ends up in Miami. But Elliot's odyssey to find his betrayer -- and to unravel the mystery of his bicultural past -- lures him into a web of corruption he thought he had left behind in Havana.
