  There's no such thing as a free cruise in Cuban American author Teresa Dovalpage’s addictively clever new Havana mystery.Cuban-born Mercedes Spivey and her American husband, Nolan, win a five-day cruise to Cuba. Although the circumstances surrounding the prize seem a little suspicious to Mercedes, Nolan’s current unemployment and their need to revamp their marriage make the decision a no-brainer. Once aboard, Mercedes is surprised to see two people she met through her ex-boyfriend Lorenzo: former University of Havana professor Selfa Sagarra and down-on-his-luck Spanish writer Javier Jurado. Even stranger: they also received a free cruise.When Selfa disappears on their first day at sea, Mercedes and Javier begin to wonder if their presence on the cruise is more than a mere coincidence. Worried, Mercedes confides her suspicions to her husband, who—desperate to accept the last-minute invitation he received to give a lecture at Havana University—convinces her it’s all in her head.However, when Javier dies under mysterious circumstances after the cruise disembarks in Havana, and Nolan is nowhere to be found, Mercedes wanders through the city, fearing she had been right all along. Will she be next?

  THEY CUT HIM OFF. HE CUTS THEM DOWN. 
  The Highwayman delivers death and destruction. Road rage is his ritual - his obsession. Always at mile marker 33. Always brutal. This might be Special Agent Meredeth Connelly's toughest case yet. 
  His crimes span the nation's highways. His gruesome deliveries are accelerating. She's spread too thin. She needs help - but at what cost? He's got full tanks. She's riding on empty. How do you track a killer who's miles away before anyone knows he's killed again? 
  Eighteen wheels. 
  One crowbar. 
  Forty tons of rolling death. 
  It will take a killer's insight to catch The Highwayman. But there's a price for such help, however. There's always a price - this time, perhaps more than she can pay.
