When British war hero-turned-adventurer
Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond
sails to Havana to answer an anonymous summons, he expects a routine intelligence errand.
Instead, a Royal Navy officer is gunned down on the pier before Drummond can even disembark-clutching a sealed envelope marked
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL - CALYPSO FILE.
From the smoky bars of Old Havana to sugar-refinery ruins, from high-stakes casino tables to jungle strongholds near Santiago, Drummond and the sharp-witted Lucía Ramos follow a trail of assassins, coded ledgers and sabotaged freighters.
