I have enjoyed most of the Doc Ford series that I have read so far, but North of Havana is not one of them. The departure to Cuba in aid of a friend is interesting in giving a picture of the decaying society under the dictatorship of Fidel Castro; but, the strange characters, aura of Santeria religion, and frequent deadly violence do not quite fit with the disjointed plot and improbable events in the story. I found it hard to stay interested and keep track of the sketchy characters populating the pages. My advice is to skip this book and move on down the list of Doc Ford titles
