In Harmyk's latest suspense thriller travel to Playa Giron, the balmy tropical paradise on Cuba's southern coast. In April 1961, CIA sponsored soldiers knew it only as the Bay of Pigs. Eager to liberate their homeland from Fidel Castro, Ricardo Ortiz and his two younger brothers join an ill-fated invasion force. The devastating betrayal of their brigade cost countless lives, secured Castro's regime, and nearly turned the Cold War into a nuclear inferno.

A generation later, Langston Trudeau discovered a tropical paradise of his own. A cynical American expatriate, the young author settled on a remote Bahamian island to write his next bestseller. After creating a rum-soaked existence of women and nightclubs, Langston hadn't written a single page. Causing more than writer's block, his ravenous lifestyle exposes an ominous plot that's hardly fiction.

Having all but forgotten the Bay of Pigs abandonment, Americans in a post 9-11 world may be victim to biological terrorism designed to end Cuban communism, but instead threatens to infect South Florida. In this gripping tale, where the ends sometimes justify the means, two generations collide as one man seeks to undo his past while the other fights to save his future.
