Synopsis "Paisaje de Otoño (in Spanish)"

Una noche de otoño, unos pescadores descubren un cadáver en la playa del Chivo, en La Habana. La víctima, Miguel Forcade Mier, ha sido asesinada con una saña brutal, casi inexplicable. Este crimen removerá una antigua trama de corrupciones y viejas ambiciones frustradas, ya que, en efecto, en los años sesenta Forcade había dirigido oficialmente las expropiaciones de bienes artísticos requisados a la burguesía tras la Revolución. Pero, después de acumular poder, influencia y, seguramente, no pocas envidias y resentimientos, en 1978 Forcade decide, sin motivo aparente, sumarse al exilio de Miami. Sin embargo, poco antes de su asesinato, había vuelto misteriosamente a Cuba, casi como si hubiera querido recuperar algo muy valioso y cuya existencia sólo él conocía.

Lo he leido. Si bien nada puede igualar Herejes del mismo autor (por el contenido histórico de la trama); como todo lo de Padura es un escalar en la colina que conduce a la mejora de la personalidad del lector.
