Overview

MIKE MCCAUL is a former commando and RCMP spook, and is now a sinister operative for a shadowy security contractor. To avoid Canadian Intelligence scrutiny he moved from Toronto to Havana and is hired by the CIA to find out if the Castros are a threat to the USA. McCaul meets up with his mission partner, Lucien LaRue, a deadly commando who Mike suspects has ulterior motives. Then he runs into his lost love, Kate McKee, now working for CNN looking for dirt on the Castros. Together, McCaul and Kate dodge Cuba's security apparatus and end up finding a terrorist camp in the mountains. Then they connect with the new Cuban messiah and McCaul sets out to battle the Castro regime not knowing who he can and can't trust. Then it's reported that Fidel has died... The ending of Castro's Last Mojito is like Cuba itself; an enigma in which nothing is ever as it seems.

Carsten Stroud, New York Times Best-selling Author of Niceville I Loved This Book...This book is not only a powerful read, it's also a perfect shot to the side of the head for all those blissfully unaware folks who go off to Cuba every year for some sun and surf and come back chirping about how happy and smiley all those Cubans are! This guy knows Cuba the way Hemingway knew it. Compelling and raw and gutsy.D. Spilman: I finished the book in a frenzy - very nice read - the website is even better. What a great way to sustain topical interest. A tight and twisting plot......with the action kind of like a roller coaster ride......peppered with historical references; people, places, events, well lubricated with rum and Cohiba-smoking and that irrepressible vitality that endears Cuba and it's people to our imagination and hearts long after any economic relevance........for me on a par with the lure of Tango and Buenos Aires. Plays nicely with other books I've read about Cuba; notably Cuba and the Night and Havana Nocturne. Andrea Whyte: This is not really my usual type of book but I must say I did enjoy it. It's more actiony and man things than I usually read, but it was a good quick read. I liked the descriptions of places and people in Cuba. I can recommend this.El Rajo: An excellent read. A real time insight into modern day Cuba. Only the canucks go to Cuba for vacation and this author has for sure spent some time there. Good description of the culture, music, food, dance, politics, women, night life and rum. Also a sad commentary on the deterioration of this once beautiful island. A good suspense novel with a super twist at the end.Z. Mark: If you are interested in Cuba and like a good mystery then this book is for you. I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr. French has managed to inject important history lessons without making them burdensome, as well as educating those of us from the US on some interesting points from our friendly neighbor to the North: Canada! (anyone who has attended public school will get the reference!) It is clear the author has a love for Cuba and the Cuban people! The plot is interesting and the story flows....do get this book. A fun read!John A. Peterson: Just a great book for summer reading and anytime, held my interest throughout. I would recommend this book to everyone that has an interest in Cuba Part true and part fiction, A well written book.
