About this ebook

A former revolutionary plots revenge, in this “superior crime novel” from an Edgar Award–winning author “as adept at comedy as he is at tragedy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
 
Aldo Bianchi, a former Argentine revolutionary now living in Italy, travels to Havana, Cuba. There, he meets the beautiful Bini, a sultry student with great charm and panache working the hotels—and discovers that his nemesis, the Uruguayan military torturer Alberto Ríos, is living in the country as well, under a false identity.
 
Putting his tropical holiday on hold, Bianchi goes on the hunt for his sadistic enemy, in this “unusual political thriller . . . By turns bawdy, funny, dark, cheerful, learned, and madcap, populated with memorable characters” from a winner of both an Edgar and a Dashiell Hammett Award (Booklist).

Daniel Chavarría

Daniel Chavarría was born in Uruguay in 1933. He spent the 1960s involved in several South American liberation struggles. He fled the continent and settled in Havana, Cuba, where he has resided since 1969. From 1975 to 1986, Chavarría worked as a translator of literature into Spanish, and taught Latin, Greek and Classical Literature at the University of Havana. His novels, short stories, literary journalism, and screenplays have reached audiences across Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Chavarría has won numerous literary awards around the world, including a 1992 Dashiell Hammett Award. Adios Muchachos is his first novel to be translated into English. In 2002, Akashic Books published his mystery novel, The Eye of Cybele, set in ancient Greece.
