THE CUBAN SCAR
by Nick PadronPublish: Apr 08, 2012Crime Fiction Historical Mystery SuspenseBook Overview
When Nelson Montes, a Cuban-American musician, finds a video made by his deceased father, a former intelligence agent, confessing to his participation in the greatest unsolved crime of the 20th century, his life is forever changed. Unbeknown to him, his mysterious Uncle Reynaldo submits him to a process of indoctrination similar to the mind control techniques used in the classic novel, The Manchurian Candidate, to ultimately persuade Nelson into going public with his father's video confession, something he swore never to do. It plunges him into the shadowy world of Miami's Cuban exile power-players and into a web of deception that builds up into crescendo of violence, betrayals, and confrontations with Fidel Castro's agents at the U. N. and the FBI, endangering the life of the woman he loves and threatening to turn him into another patsy in the historic assassination conspiracy.A gripping, masterful blend of fact and fiction in the style of Stephen King’s 11/22/63 and Don DeLillo’s Libra. THE CUBAN SCAR bursts alive with meticulously portrayed characters both real and created— a haunting examination of an event that has become an indelible part of the American psyche.
