Description
Suspicion of Deceit by Barbara Parker (1998, Hardcover . With publisher promotion (including the simultaneous million-copy paperback release of Criminal Justice, 1997), Suspicion should also draw new readers. Readers disappointed that Parker's last two mysteries did not feature attorneys Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana will be delighted to find the Miami twosome at the center of this complex, involving tale. With publisher promotion (including the simultaneous million-copy paperback release of Criminal Justice , 1997), Suspicion should also draw new readers. Parker (who earned Edgar-finalist status for her first effort, Suspicion of Innocence , 1994) uses opera and Central America as effective counterpoints to the confrontation between Cuban and Yankee culture--within Gail and Anthony's romance and within Miami society--which has animated the series. To build business for her new solo practice, Gail takes on the Miami Opera as a client, only to learn of a pending crisis: the rising young bass-baritone scheduled to play Don Giovanni in Mozart's opera sang recently in Castro's Cuba. The singer may be in danger, as may several of Gail's opera contacts who have ties to puzzling aspects of Anthony's past, ties that lead back to Nicaragua in the late 1970s.
