  • "Havana, Cuba, in 1953 is flush with booming casinos, sex and drugs. The city is a lucrative paradise for everyone from the Mafia to pimps, porn-makers and anyone looking to grab a piece of the action - including the Cuban government, which naturally honours the interests of its old ally, the United States of America.

  • "-- Havana, Stephen Hunter has produced a truly epic adventure story, shot-through with violence, eroticism, and the pressures of big money and big politics, set in a legendary time and place.

He knows only one thing for certain: that he's a pawn in somebody else's game. But a pawn with a Colt Super .38 in his shoulder holster and the skill and will to use it fast and well is a formidable man, indeed."@en
