Expand description
This is the jumping off point for Mel McKinney's first novel, with action taking place from Havana to Cape Cod, with stops in Miami, Jamaica, Washington DC, and Kentucky. It casts a lovesick expatriate Cuban, an unscrupulous Southern capitalist, and a sanitized Mafia heir scratching a mid-life itch, in a barbed tale involving those cigars. McKinney ingeniously raises the possibility that the 1100 cigars played a role in JFK's assassination, and then takes the reader along on an ironic, provocative, and action-packed ride that hurtles full-force toward a breathless conclusion.
