Teresa Dovalpage's deliciously twisted novella, set on a Caribbean cruise, showcases the dark--sometimes deadly--side of celebrity.
Former Havana detective Marlene Mart nez, now happily running a bakery in Miami, has booked a week-long cruise to Mexico and the Caribbean with her niece, Sarita, as the girl's quincea era present. Sarita is beyond thrilled to discover that a Cuban telenovela star, Carloalberto, is also aboard for the trip. But even while trying to keep her niece away from the unsettlingly handsome actor, Marlene gets the feeling Carloalberto is in some kind of trouble--he is constantly on edge, and shady characters seem to find their way to him.
