"An incisive mind . . . Correa is a wonderful writer." —Lawrence Block, author of HitList
"I look forward to any book by Arnaldo Correa."—Martin Cruz Smith, author of Havana Bay
A truly riveting mystery based on actual events on the -island-nation of Cuba involving three Afro-Cuban religions: Santería, Palo Monte, and the Abakuá Secret Society. Correa had access to Havana police records for his lengthy research and has crafted a flawless mystery with an intense and authentic look into little-known aspects of Cuban society. When a Chinese cadaver is stolen from a cemetery in Havana, the Cuban police are stumped. Their investigation leads to a priest in the Abakuá Secret Society. The priest stays one step ahead, however, casting a spell to divert the investigation.
Critical acclaim for Correa's Spy's Fate:
"A captivating thriller based on the murky U.S.-Cuban spy wars. Correa deftly paints the history of Castro's Cuban intelligence service and the changing face of the Miami exile community . . . The insightful sociopolitical picture, the nasty maneuverings of both services, and the credible spy plot make this a fascinating read."—Publishers Weekly
"From Cuba with panache, a rare English-language thriller, written with flair, authority, and admirable -detachment, about intelligence operations grown soft . . . Character-driven and consistently entertaining."—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
