Description
In 1898, just before the Spanish–American War, Ben Tyler—a recently released cowboy and sometime bank robber—arrives in Havana on what appears to be a straightforward horse-delivery job. As tensions rise after the destruction of the USS *Maine*, Ben is drawn into a dangerous web of gunrunning, Cuban insurgency, political intrigue, and competing loyalties. Along the way, romance complicates his plans and forces him to navigate a volatile world where survival depends on wit, nerve, and knowing whom to trust. Blending the fast-moving pleasures of a Western, historical adventure, caper, and noir, the novel showcases Elmore Leonard’s sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and effortless command of suspense.
