He’s recruited by the CIA to get inside and find out how much of a threat Fidel and his brother are to American security. He’s accompanied on his mission by Lucien Ruel, a deadly commando with ulterior motives. While in Cuba, McCaul connects with his an old flame, Kate Adams, now working for CNN and nosing around the island looking for a Pulitzer.

Review by:

on Dec. 31, 2011 :
Mojito is a terrific espionage book, but what I like best about it is how the author describes Cuba and more particularly Havana and the people that live there.
The lead character, McCaul, is a tough guy with a heart while his love interest, Kate, is an equal to him.
The conflict and tension is realistic and the plot - that a highly skilled team could very likely overthrow the declining Castro regime - rings true.
It's well written and if you like spy / thrillers than this is a good one.
