Description

At the centre of this novel is Carlos Manuel who, when his wife dies, returns to Cuba after 20 years of being a special services agent in Africa and Latin America. He finds himself completely alienated from his children and from the country he has served. After his kids embark on a disastrous raft ride to the US, Manuel steals a yacht and sails after them into the stormy Atlantic. He is left stranded in Miami where both the CIA and Cuban Intelligence are after him. The hunter becomes the hunted as Carlos encounters the ravaging violence of his former life.
