From the legendary #1 New York Times bestselling author of Plum Island and Night Fall, Nelson DeMille’s blistering new novel, The Cuban Affair, features an exciting new character—US Army combat veteran Daniel “Mac” MacCormick, now a charter boat captain, who is about to set sail on his most dangerous cruise. Brilliantly written, with his signature humor, fascinating authenticity from his research trip to Cuba, and heart-pounding pace, Nelson DeMille is a true master of the genre.

About Alan P. Gross:

Before his sudden imprisonment in Castro’s Cuba, Alan P. Gross spent over thirty-five years traveling the globe as an International Economic Development and Community Engagement Advisor. Gross helped fight poverty and oppression by developing projects to help people in more than 50 countries around the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. Everyone was shocked when, in December 2009, he was arrested by Cuban officials who wrongly accused him of working for American intelligence services. In March 2011, Gross was wrongfully convicted for “acts against the territorial integrity of the state," and he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. During his captivity, Gross spent 23 hours a day confined to a small Cuban jail cell, almost completely isolated from the outside world. His physical, mental, and emotional health were continually challenged as he slowly began to wonder whether he would ever return home alive.
