House Money

Havana, the last five nights of 1958. Disgraced ex-cop Ciro Albarrán is working as a house detective at the mob-owned Hotel Flamingo Real, trying to pay off a $12,000 gambling marker when the croupier turns up dead in the rooftop pool. His orders are simple: find the killer—or, better yet, recover the owner’s stolen ledger and give the mob a Cuban to hang before New Year’s. But the easiest man to frame is Ciro himself.
