All of Padura's books are melancholy, and all contain considerable social criticism of the socialist milieu of this not-very-cop-like cop. Leonardo Padura is the most internationally successful Cuban novelist of the revolutionary era and responsible for renovating the Cuban detective narrative in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union.The round frames are sculpted from thick acetate and minimally detailed with the collection’s signature Talisman emblem – symbolising freedom and a sense of wanderlust.

Conde works to find the truth about his comrade of old, (now a hero), who may not be all he appeared to be.
