South of the border there is love and loss, revenge, betrayal and mystery. "International Bridge" follows a young expecting Central American couple who travel in hopes of crossing into the United States. Love joins smuggling for a white-knuckle flight in the title story, "The Havana Brotherhood." These eleven tales presented by the author of the acclaimed thriller, "Hostages of Veracruz," include three stories now published for the first time in English--the funny and playful "Rivals," the brooding "Nostalgia for Death" and "American Paranoia," a serpentine, multi-layered, serpentine spy tale. This collection showcases the heartbreak and humor, unsurpassed craftsmanship, and drama that reveal Miller as a master of the short story.
