MURDER IN HAVANA

Pilot and ex-CIA operative Max Pauling's undercover assignment is clear: determine if BTK Industries and the Strauss-Lochner Enterprises are attempting to buy into Cuba's world-class anti-cancer medical research. Richard Poe is at his best when portraying the anti-Castro freedom fighters' bravado, a pretentious British potentate, and a sultry Latin beauty. He also delivers a gritty look at the streets of Cuba. . .bustling, blaring with car horns, and filled with incessant music. Poe's diversity is without flaw. Intrigue, code words, a superstitious Castro, corporate skullduggery, greed, and deadly duplicity all work together to create the drama. K.A.T.
