In 2001, Daniel Chavarria’s first novel, Adios Muchachos, a quick romp in the life of a Havanna bicycle whore, won an Edgar Award for Orginal Paperback Fiction. Unfortunately, Chavarria was not able to receive his tourist visa and could not make it to New York as he was planning to. His translator, Carlos Lopez, accepted the award on his behalf. A fine story of crime, sex, and noir skullduggery, Adios Muchachos belongs with the work of John D. MacDonald, Carl Hiassen, and a good deal of Elmore Leonard, and it’ll fit right in with those masters of incongruously sunny, quirky capers.
