But Chief Inspector Espinosa can't shake thoughts of the hapless victim--who would target a penniless man who posed no physical threat? Focusing his incisive mind and his usual unhurried inquiry on a group of wealthy guests who dined at a nearby mansion on the rainy night of the murder, Espinosa interrogates his way into the lives of his suspects, exposing lies, cover-ups—and another murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“If Gabriel García Márquez wrote crime fiction, he might create a detective like Inspector Espinosa.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Baltimore Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is entertainment of a high order, sly and smart, giving away nothing until the final pages.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post Book World on A Window in Copacabana\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Engrossing and captivating . . .
