New York Times bestselling author Stephen Hunter takes beloved hero,
Earl Swagger, into the lush world of 1950's Cuba to fight the American
mobsters who control the Havana casinos.
Cuba 1953: The island is on fire.
The Mafia-run casinos are rolling, and it's just a 30-minute flight from
Miami to a world of vice, gambling, sex, and drugs. The money is there
for anyone who knows how to get it, including the Cuban government and
the police, who want to keep their ally Uncle Sam happy. There's only
one threat to this corrupt utopia: a silver-tongued, daring young
revolutionary named Fidel Castro. With the Cold War underway, the Soviet
Union has sent a sophisticated veteran agent to find and support the
young upstart. To counter, the CIA has summoned Medal of Honor-winning
ex-marine Sergeant Earl Swagger, whose heroic exploits have earned him
the reputation of a man who doesn't know how to lose. But he's not just
going to find Castro...
He's going to kill him.
