In 1939, the Saint Louis sails from Hamburg into Havana's port with hundreds of Jewish refugees seeking asylum from the Nazi regime. From the docks, nine-year-old Daniel Kaminsky watches as the passengers, including his mother, father, and sister, become embroiled in a fiasco of Cuban corruption. But the Kaminskys have a treasure that they hope will save them: a small Rembrandt portrait of Christ. Yet six days later the vessel is forced to leave the harbor with the family, bound for the horrors of Europe. The Kaminskys, along with their priceless heirloom, disappear. Nearly seven decades later, the Rembrandt reappears in an auction house in London, prompting Daniel's son to travel to Cuba to track down the story of his family's lost masterpiece. He hires the down-on-his-luck private detective Mario Conde, and together they navigate a web of deception and violence in the morally complex city of Havana. In Heretics, Leonardo Padura takes us from the tenements and beaches of Cuba to Rembrandt's gloomy studio in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, telling the story of people forced to choose between the tenets of their faith and the realities of the world, between their personal desires and the demands of their times. A grand detective story and a moving historical drama, Padura's novel is as compelling, mysterious, and enduring as the painting at its center."-- |cProvided by publisher. 505 0 Book of Daniel -- Book of Elias -- Book of Judith -- Genesis. 546 In English, translated from the Spanish. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Conde, Mario |vFiction. 600 17 Conde, Mario. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01744391 650 0 Jewish refugees |zGermany |vFiction. 650 0 Art thefts |xInvestigation |vFiction. 650 0 Private investigators |zCuba |zHavana |vFiction. 650 7 Art thefts |xInvestigation. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01202359 650 7 Jewish refugees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01730523 650 7 Private investigators. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01077503 651 7 Cuba |zHavana. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205198 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 655 7 Detective and mystery fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 Fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 Detective and mystery fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction. |2lcgft 700 1 Kushner, Anna, |etranslator. 852 0 |bstacks |hPQ7390.P32 |iH4713 2017
