This fast-paced, expertly crafted thriller sees Ricardo Ramirez join forces with Russian Intelligence officer, Slava Kadun, to stop an international assassination, in the fourth and final book of the highly acclaimed Inspector Ramirez series.

When Mama Loa tells Inspector Ricardo Ramirez of the Havana Major Crimes Unit that people in the sky are going to die, he thinks she’s crazy. After all, there hasn’t been a violent death in Havana for months.

But when a Russian tourist is murdered, execution-style, on the Malecón, and three flight crew members die under suspicious circumstances, Ramirez starts to think that the old woman’s prophecy might be coming true. Then Russian Intelligence officer, Slava Kadun, arrives in Havana and warns Ramirez’s superiors that Russian Intelligence has intercepted electronic communications that indicate the American CIA has hired a hitman to kill the Acting President, Raúl Castro, and soon.

With the political future of Cuba at stake and only hours to find an undercover assassin, Ramirez has to join forces with Kadun. But there are circles within circles, and with so many layers of deception to unravel, Ramirez starts to wonder if Kadun is the hitman himself.
