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.

Kudos arent the only thing Alexandra LaDuca, U.S. Treasury Department agent (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), has earned for her role in dealing a major blow to the drug cartels; shes also become the target of a sniper hired by the Dosis, an international crime family. Alex is no stranger to being shot, but this particular sniper is one of the best. The agency insists that Alex lay low until her hunter is found. Her acquaintance from another case, Paul Guarneri, asks her to accompany him on an illegal foray into Cuba to find a forgotten trove of cash, and Alex agrees to join him, for reasons known only to herself. Its faith, hope, and adventure as Alex continues her dangerous assignment in Cuba. Theres nothing didactic or dogmatic about Hynds action-packed, well-crafted thriller, which will appeal to a general readership as well as those who prefer faith-based novels.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
