About the Book

Tricked by a bitter and scheming Cuban exile, a young American battles the sadistic cops and savage gangs which run provincial Cuba today as he unwittingly recovers a fortune in gold hidden from Castro thirty years earlier. His domineering father forces him to choose between the family business or the girl and the island he has come to love. Returning to America, he risks his life in a hurricane to save his father's reputation and, after a surprise ending, he must choose between the easy life in the States or the beauty and brutality of the island.
