A nerve-jolting thriller set against the Cuban Missile Crisis – where Lou Beach continues to play history’s unsung hero on the Kennedy’s behalf. Sequel to Goodnight, Marilyn.In the wake of the murder of Marilyn Monroe, Lou Beach has exiled himself into the heart of the Baja Peninsula - still guarding the actress’ infamous red diary. Finally making contact with the president, he is told to meet Rolando Cubela in Mexico City where the Cuban-turned CIA operative will bring Lou and the fiercely-sought after diary safely into Washington. But as the Missile Crisis escalates, Kennedy learns there is a mole in Havana – waiting to assassinate Castro (Operation Mongoose) – an event that would most certainly provoke the Soviet’s nuclear arsenal. With Cubela the only one capable of aborting the op, Lou is forced to ride shotgun as the two infiltrate their way into a spy-infested Havana to try and prevent the assassination attempt. Also infiltrating onto the island are Mary Hemingway – widow of the famed author - and producer Aaron Townes – hunting down a long-lost Hemingway manuscript. The world holds its breath as the crisis builds to its climax and these two narratives collide to generate other treacherous machinations, bringing the global crisis to an even higher level of critical mass and terror.
