Set in the seamy underside of 1950s Havana, the first Cuban noir novel introduces cynical PI Henry Gore and will hold readers tight - right until the savage, gut-punch ending.
John Keyse-Walker practiced law for 30 years, representing business and individual clients, educational institutions and government entities. He is an avid salt- and freshwater angler, a tennis player, kayaker and an accomplished cook. He lives in Florida with his wife.

own life and doing the right thing drive this outstanding,
packs-a-punch thriller
