"Latour's superbly atmospheric thriller, with its eye-opening portrait of contemporary Cuba, is one of the most original and exciting crime novels I've read in ages."- Mail on Sunday.
"Latour writes beautifully in prose that's lean and lucid and never overwhelmed by noir "style". "- Kirkus Reviews.
"The tension that arises and falls throughout the book heightens towards the end, to the point that my eyes wanted to leap ahead. I found myself forced to cover the bottom of the final pages with my hand as to savour each delicious moment of suspense."- The Globe and Mail.
"Latour takes as much time and forethought to develop characters worth caring about as he does to illustrate Cuba's political structure."- Sun-Sentinel.
"With this brilliant espionage novel peopled by characters of unparalleled intelligence, Latour delivers a tour-de-force of intrigue."- Library Journal.
"Outcast is warm, human, often funny and consistently interesting --a fast, rich read."- Los Angeles Times.
“Cuba has been closed world for most of us decades now, and Cuban crime fiction has remained a well-kept secret. It’s alive and well, and brilliantly represented by Jose Latour.”- Lawrence Block, author of “Eight Million Ways to Die”, “A Dance to the Slaughterhouse”
