She had asked him to investigate a stange case, the murder of a lonely man who was found hanged with his dog; the man was missing a finger and had a circle and two arrows engraved with a knife in the chest. It seemed to be a ritual of santeriÌa which would require that investigators look for clues in other parts of the city. However, Conde discovered unexpected threads of secret business dealings and a history of misfortune that revealed the hidden reality of many Asian immigrant families. As the Chinese expression goes, he had to find the snake's tail in order to get to the head. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85037260 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107761 651 0 $a Havana (Cuba) $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115329 650 0 $a Cuban fiction. $2 lcsh $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85034619 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 800 1 $a Padura, Leonardo. $t Serie Mario Conde. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010040268 830 0 $a ColeccioÌn Andanzas ; $v 690/7. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86733952 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112045913.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66673690F76711E7BF59292497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
