Description
High summer in Cuba, 1953, brings a sense of possibility to the city of Havana. The booming casinos, sex, and drugs create a lucrative paradise for those looking to make a profit, including the Cuban government and its ally, the United States. However, trouble soon follows, as a young revolutionary named Fidel Castro emerges, backed by Soviet intelligence. The CIA responds by sending a skilled gunfighter, Earl Swagger, to eliminate Castro. In Cuba, Earl finds himself in a treacherous environment where old rules about honour and duty no longer apply. His target seems to have more guts and good luck than anyone else in the country. Stephen Hunter's latest novel blends real-world figures into a lightning-paced narrative, creating a thrilling adventure and suspenseful story. As the Cold War hub of the Caribbean, Cuba is a strategic location, and Earl's mission is fraught with danger. With its unique blend of real-world figures and literary adventure, this novel is a gripping tale of espionage, suspense, and action.
