The remarkable new novel in the Doc Ford series by New York Times–bestselling author Randy Wayne White. Doc Ford’s old friend, General Juan Garcia, has gone into the lucrative business of smuggling Cuban baseball players into the U.S. He is also feasting on profits made by buying historical treasures for pennies on the dollar. He prefers what dealers call HPC items—high-profile collectibles—but when he manages to obtain a collection of letters written by Fidel Castro between 1960–62 to a secret girlfriend, it’s not a matter of money anymore. Garcia has stumbled way out of his depth. First Garcia disappears, and then the man to whom he sold the letters. When Doc Ford begins to investigate, he soon becomes convinced that those letters contain a secret that someone, or some powerful agency, cannot allow to be made public. A lot happened between Cuba and the United States from 1960–62. Many men died. A few more will hardly be noticed.

As ship owners, they're personally involved as the United States enters the First World War. With the wars end comes the Volstead Act, prohibition. Booze is forbidden and so begins the Roaring Twenties. FLORIDA STRAITS is a graphic story of the smuggling of booze, drugs and immigrants. It's concerns anger, deep love, greed and vengeance; men, good and bad, crossing dark water on fast boats. It's a story of a family in conflict, of unconditional love and unimaginable tragedy, as they struggle with all that comes at them in a tropical world, where the ruthless violence of man, is nothing compared to the destructive power of nature.The tale begins with the eldest son, Fred, a young man of seventeen, who is choosing to live his life on the wild side. He's smart, tough and in most ways, much like his father was at that age; in other ways, Fred is very different, which is where the trouble begins. (He is the ultimate Bad Boy.) I was asked by someone reading for a review, "Why is Fred the Devil

Escape to the Straits is a novel based on a true story about Daniel Milan's life in Cuba during the late 1990's. The story takes on several twists and begins after the sudden death of Daniel's father uproots Daniel and his mother to the town of Ranchuelo in central Cuba. He lands a position as a dock worker in a cigarette factory, and not only detests the drudgery of his job but despises the abuse by the supervisor and the cruel factory guards. Daniel supplements his meager wages by joining a gang of co-worker thieves to steal and sell cigarettes on the black market. During a well-planned attempted robbery, the factory guards are alerted, and Daniel is injured and trapped at the base of a twenty foot stack of tobacco boxes. During his recovery and at an impromptu party at his home, he encounters Juliana, his best friend Rafael's sister. This infatuation of several years, once discouraged by Rafael, begins to blossom. Daniel is overcome by profound love and Juliana becomes a beacon amidst the bleakness of life under Fidel Castro's regime. Despite battling with inner confusion about his own destiny, adjusting to chaos and change at the factory, and wrestling to survive in the economic turmoil of communist Cuba, Daniel orchestrates a romantic proposal to Juliana at a waterfall in the Sierra del Escambray Mountains, after which, the couple narrowly escapes death. The proposal culminates in a community celebration and the first wedding in Santa Rosa de Lima in seventeen years. Happiness turns to shock after the nuptials when Daniel spots the factory sergeant mingling with Special Forces in front of the church. Daniel's world spirals after he discovers that Maximo Lopez is smitten by Juliana and has secretly plotted against him. Daniel is stunned by Max's retaliation, and an act of arson that destroys the Lopez family's automotive business. The story becomes an entangled web of fear, deception, desperation, and tension compounded by Daniel's phobia of the sea. He is thrown in prison, fights for his life, and is forced to make a life altering decision. To avoid military pursuit and further imprisonment, he relocates to Havana where he hustles to survive and executes a clandestine departure from Cuba but his meticulously planned voyage is foiled by a factor beyond his control. Conflict abounds in this story as the main character struggles to survive and to flee an oppressed, communist society. Although Cuban by birth, Daniel is a universal figure who suffers and succeeds in solving trying situations. He faces each disappointment with determination, a sense of humor and ultimately never gives up.

Since Fidel Castro staged a coup half a century ago and assumed power of Cuba in 1959, the United States has been obsessed with this small island nation, only 90 miles south of the Florida Keys. America's fixation on Cuba has only grown due to the large waves of Cuban immigrants and Castro's larger-than-life persona. Today, the Cuban exile community within the United States has grown so powerful that they have played a major role in American politics for decades. But because of the country's isolation, the island and its people have remained a mystery. Cuba is among the most literate countries in Latin America, with a literacy rate of 99.8 percent. Its healthcare system compares favorably with those in developed nations, and life expectancy ranks third in the Americas, behind only Canada and Chile, and ahead of the United States. In 2006, Castro transferred powers over to his brother, Raul, who has promised to remove some of the restrictions that have limited the average Cuban's daily life. This revised edition of Cuba takes readers through the country's storied history, its people, and what the future holds for this island nation.
