Catch a Cuban by the Toe

In the late 1970s, the CIA and FBI began searching for a Cuban war criminal who allegedly killed American POWs in North Vietnam's Hoa Lo Prison, otherwise known as the Hanoi Hilton. But the inquest, which could have implicated all living presidents, two senators, an American multi-billionaire, and several communist countries, was mysteriously terminated by an unnamed, big-wig politician.

Paul Silva, a decorated Vietnam veteran running from his demons, stumbles onto the scene in 1989. With the help of the Mafia, he begins his own hunt for the Cuban known by POWs as "Fidel." But those involved in the highest echelons of government know that Paul's snooping will expose to the American people its seedy underbelly and determine that the best way to remain subterranean is to assassinate Paul.

Inspired by actual events, Catch a Cuban by the Toe is a suspense thriller that explores what it means to be a patriot and delves into the enduring psyche of mentally-ill soldiers and veterans struggling to not only return to society, but to come to terms with all that their government has done - and perpetuates.
