Spooks Vol. 3: El Santero

Description

Cuba, 1902. Freed from its Spanish masters by US forces four years ago, the island is still occupied by its erstwhile liberators, some of whom aren't all that eager to leave. American businessmen and politicians would like to see Cuba become a full state, while the Cuban people dream only of freedom. When people begin dying...and then come back to life, the SPOOKS are sent to investigate the possible involvement of a Cuban priest and rebel leader - a santero.
