Havana may be far from Washington, but DC power brokers are never far from Havana. Neither are danger, deception, and sudden death. Thats what draws Max Pauling there. As an ex-CIA, ex-State Department employee, he faces an uneventful early retirementuntil he is asked to secretly fly some medical supplies into the mysterious Cuban city.
If Max is looking for excitement, he finds it. First theres his contact, a breathtaking beauty with private plans of her own. Then theres a former senator, in Havana to ease the U.S. embargo, but who may have another, more malevolent, mission. Throw in endless supplies of under-the-table money not to mention a murderand Max has landed in a place even more corrupt . . . and more compelling . . . than the U.S. capital itself.
