Synopsis

From bestselling ABA author Noel Hynd comes this new series set against the backdrop of Havana, an explosive capital city of faded charm locked in the past and torn by political intrigue.U.S. Treasury Agent Alexandra LaDuca leaves her Manhattan home on an illegal mission to Cuba that could cost her everything. Accompanying her is the attractive but dangerous Paul Guarneri, a Cuban-born exile who lives in the gray areas of the law. Together, they plunge into subterfuge and danger. Without the support of the United States, Alex must navigate Cuban police, saboteurs, pro-Castro security forces, and an assassin who follows her from New York. Bullets fly as allies become traitors and enemies become unexpected friends. Alex, recovering from the tragic loss of her fiancé a year before, reexamines faith and new love while taking readers on a fast-paced adventure. Readers of general market thrillers, such as John le Carré, David Baldacci, and Joel Rosenberg, will eagerly anticipate this first installment.

The main character has turned into an annoying, nonsensical bitch, hard to like or empathize with her. There are a few plot problems such as: She’s told not to bring items with her name or initials......more

As someone who has visited Cuba eight times, the title of this book caught my attention, and I was very impressed by the author’s knowledge of Cuba, describing many places I am also familiar with and recognized easily. Given the authenticity of these descriptions, I was disappointed that the Spanish......more
