Now a pair of Americans (posing as Canadians) have come to Cuba to find the jewels on behalf of the man’s blind son, who promised them a share of the fortune if they can make it back to New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArriving at the apartment, they have to negotiate its present occupants – a mismatched brother and sister: he a Cuban wide boy scraping a living out of selling girls, pornography and drugs to foreigners; she an upright, vulnerable, beautiful woman with a tragic past. (Their father, the hero of the Cuban revolution, is in gaol after shooting his wife’s lover.) Add to this is a hitman the Americans unwisely hired to get rid of one of the obstacles in their path, who now wants a piece of the action himself, and the pressure is on to find the diamonds and get out of Havana – before someone else gets their hands on them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"José Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284853080213,"sku":"9780007395569","price":8.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007395569.jpg?v=1776992073","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007395569_havana-best-friends","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
