When Ricardo moves into a small apartment complex in Panama - an apartment building full of expats and retirees - he thinks he's found the perfect tropical hideaway from all he left behind in the States… until Alison points out how strange some of the residents are. While Ricardo and Alison push their sexual boundaries inside Ricardo's apartment, a furious rage is seething next door. Ricardo's carefully arranged sanctuary is about to be cracked apart by betrayal, murder and madness. From Robert Rahula, the acclaimed author of Exigent Circumstances and Conversations in a Belgian Bar, comes another tale of murder and intrigue in Latin America, where underneath the palm trees and laid-back lifestyle, no one is as they appear to be.
