In the third title in the Suspicion series, Suspicion of Deceit, Gail Connor has recently become engaged to her lover, Anthony Quintana. Disturbing revelations about his past life come to light. As a rebellious and idealistic youth, he traveled to Central America with a different lover and a friend; he ended up with a lifetime of lies to cover up a violent tragedy and a secret at the heart of the Cuban expatriate community that someone considers worth killing for, over and over again, in order to to keep it concealed.

Suspicion of Deceit is the 3rd book in the Suspicion series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

From AudioFile:

Gail Conner's activities as attorney for the Miami Opera quickly become entwined with her personal life when the Cuban community protests the performance of a baritone who performed in Cuba two years earlier. While attempting to get at the truth, Gail makes some surprising discoveries about her fiance, attorney Anthony Quintana, and before the story ends both get caught up in a tangled web of murder, intrigue and politics. Rosenblat gives a multilingual performance, speaking in excellent Spanish when needed and getting all the accents right. She's also called upon to sing bits of arias and manages to accomplish this in yet another foreign language (Italian) while actually carrying the tunes. Drama is heightened by Rosenblat's tempo--she savors the narrative, pausing at particular places for emphasis. Some audible swallowing and breathing are evident but not enough to spoil the listening experience. S.S.R. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
