I probably picked this from an Entertainment Weekly review but I had had an earlier work, The Havana Room, on my to-read list forever.International stock marker manipulation by the wealthy high rollers results in death, terror tactics and torture by those who do their dirty work for them. Espionage, mafia, and a love story make this an intelligent page turner. HOWEVER, I am getting squeamish about all the horrid desciptions of torture in best sellers these days. When I finished reading this book, I felt exhausted. I am seriously thinking of forgoing future books that feature torture.
