In Cuba, in 1953, Havana gleams with possibility. The Caribbean is fast becoming a strategic Cold War hub, and Soviet intelligence has taken Castro under its wing. The CIA's response is to send the one man capable of eliminating Castro: the legendary gunfighter and ex-Marine hero Earl Swagger. In Cuba, Earl finds himself up to his neck in treacherous ambiguity, where the old rules about honor and duty don't apply, and where Earl's target seems to have more guns and good luck than anyone else in Cuba.
