Red Angel (37 page)

“Heffernan knows how to create characters through sharp and distinctive dialogue; his pacing is fast and fluid, and his plotting is superb.”

EMILLE

“[A] strong new entry in his series featuring New York City detective Paul Devlin … [a] complex plot weaving together the Mafia with greedy U.S. and Cuban government officials … The Cuban characters are well-drawn and attractive, even when slippery. Heffernan does a superb job explaining the varieties of Cuban religious experience, the Cuban sensibility, and the ominous shadows of a rigid police state.”

Publishers Weekly

“The suspense is fine, and the pace of writing makes one look out for the next jiggery-pokery to jump out of the nganga (caldron).”

Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Heffernan can write a mean page and create a living character in a few words.”

Stuart M. Kaminsky

“A real attention grabber … deeply involving, expertly detailed, and strategically plotted … highly recommended.”
