Sinopsis

Chris Hilton went to Havana in the early 2000s to escape the drudgery of everyday life in England—and, boy, did he escape it.  
 
Suddenly he found himself mixed up with a variety of gangland chancers, some Cuban, one British, all living on the edge of legality. There was always a risk of their money-making schemes getting rumbled by the police but that’s what made it so compelling: the chance, the risk. Office life this wasn’t. 
 
And then there was Jamilia—a refugee from rural poverty, who’d come to the big city as a teenager, and been rescued from the streets by an unnerving family of small-time criminals.  
 
“A little crazy is good,” Jamilia tells Chris—and a little crazy they become, living hard, loving hard and putting back a deal of Cuban rum. 
 
But how long can craziness last? And what happens when good fortune turns to bad?

    At the end of our days we will most likely lie for eternity in the cemetery or graveyard.  Many of these, now wreathed in time, have a romance and overgrown beauty as nature keeps and shelters the dead.  These acres may be the final resting place for those who have passed but for those who visit peace may not be as easy to find.  Grief may still pull at the heart, memories continue to overwhelm, or, even those drawn simply by its history, may encounter different feelings or experiences once inside these cities of the dead.  
     
    For our varied and talented authors, a major theme, or indeed character of the stories in this volume is that very location, and how they weave it into their narratives is both fascinating, enlightening and a wonderfully distinct way of telling classic short stories.
