Description

The year is 1962. Dr. Molly McCormick, a young female physician, has been attacked by a deranged psychiatric patient and has suffered physical and psychological damage.

She is recovering at her grandfather’s home which is located on an island off the Southwest coast of Florida. Such a great location with one problem . . . it is just a hop and skip to Cuba where Fidel Castro has just pointed Russian missiles in the direction of the United States.

The Cuban Missile Crisis is heating up and the whole world is on pins and needles.Dr. McCormick’s grandfather, a retired U. S. Navy Captain, Intelligence Officer, is neck deep in stopping arms from being sent to the rebels in Cuba. Recently he has learned that someone on his island is preparing to supply the rebels with a stash of sulfur mustard, a chemical that can be converted to mustard gas.

This weapon can be spread many ways and will cause grave illness and possibly death to thousands. Oh, and just one more small issue . . . Dr. McCormick’s attacker is still out there . . .and has promised to “find her” again!

Advance Praise

I enjoyed this book for many reasons but especially for the nostalgia. The timeline of 1962 parallels a point in my life that connects me to my first discoveries of politics and the threat of chemical warfare. Cuban rebels and the Russians breathing down our necks and some of what went on to halt that mess.

Plus there is a cast of characters that includes badass women and spies. All of them using ham radio code and guns. And it's based from a Gulf coast Florida island. Add in a deranged attacker on the loose and you've got some action.

I'm ready for the next in the series so I can get some questions answered. Did I mention an Irish priest with unresolved issues with the church and himself?--Larry S.

Dr Molly McCormick and her band of interesting misfits get five stars and two big thumbs up in this period-piece mystery set in 1960s Florida. This mystery hit all the right notes for me. The Cuban Missile crisis is the backdrop to an indelible group of characters and a compound-mystery/thriller that had me guessing (wrongly) right down to the final reveal. I love a book I hate to put down and that was this book. Only problem now is waiting patiently for Book 2.--SKL

Another delightful read but in a new way from this Author. I have read all her books and as always this one doesn’t disappoint. Great read , can’t wait for the next book already.--TLK1920
