Havana Bay by Martin Cruz Smith

A weary Moscow detective is dispatched to Havana to probe the suspicious deaths surrounding a Russian trawler and its captain, only to find a tangled web of smuggling, official corruption, and faded Cold War loyalties; as he navigates decaying waterfronts, secret deals, and reluctant allies on both sides, he must piece together a dangerous conspiracy that exposes the moral rot left by politics and desperation while confronting his own disillusionment.
