Summary

"It's September 1888, and Commander Peter Wake, Office of Naval Intelligence, has five days to rescue his two captured operatives from a dungeon in Spanish-colonial Havana. But his plan quickly falls apart on the first day, when longtime nemesis Colonel Isidro Marron, head of Spanish counterintelligence, springs a deadly trap that Wake can't avoid. Huguenots, Freemasons, the actress Sarah Bernhardt, Cuban patriot Jose Marti, and the reelection of Grover Cleveland are all part of the desperate action as Peter Wake uses innovation and experience to defy the odds."--Publisher's website
