Havana, 1957. The casinos glitter, the mob is courteous, and the most trusted man in the city is the manager of the Hotel Nacional - impeccable, invisible, and a lie.
Twenty-four years ago, during the bloodiest afternoon the hotel ever saw, a pantry boy from the old streets watched the man he loved die against a corridor wall - and walked out of the ruins carrying his name. Diego Herrera became Manuel de la Torre the way other men enter a monastery: completely, and forever. He crossed the water, built a life, married a woman who never asked what he was guarding, and came home to run the very house that made him - and buried him.

Diego Herrera became Manuel de la Torre the way other men enter a monastery: completely, and forever. He crossed the water, built a life, married a woman who never asked what he was guarding, and came home to run the very house that made him - and buried him.
Then a letter arrives from Madrid. The dead man's sister is coming to Havana to meet the brother who has written her two lines a year for two decades.
She is the one person alive who can read his hand.
And in the mountains to the east, something is climbing down toward the golden city that will put every name on the island to the test.
A sweeping novel of love, imposture, and the dignity of service - of the people who hold the great houses up and are never seen - The Man No One Sees moves from the corridors of 1933 to the last dawn of old Havana: a story about a man who stole a name to survive, and spent his whole life earning it.
