The story revolves around a man named Ramon Valdez who is on trial for killing a number of people in a jewelry store. There is no real mystery here; the crime takes place in the first chapter. Ramon is a priest in the Santeria religion, popular (apparently) among many Cuban immigrants. Ramon asks Charlie Morell to be his court-appointed investigator. This involves Charlie delving into the Santeria religion and meeting an unusual assortment of people and having to face ghosts (literally) from his past.
Sounds intriguing, no? But it fell flat for me. I had a hard time feeling sympathetic for any of the characters. The Santeria part was interesting but not interesting enough. The book has a good title, though. (
