The Cuban Affair - Nelson DeMille
I enjoyed The Cuban Affair. I've traveled all over the world, but have not visited Cuba. This book gave me a sense of the place. I found the story interesting in part because of my lack of familiarity with the setting. As an angler and deep-sea fisher(wo)man, I enjoyed the fishing-tournament angle of the story. Also, de Mille's writing is crisp and quick, propelling me through the story.
