Imagine yourself, a trained sharpshooter, in Cuba on April 14,
1961. The Bay of Pigs Invasion is set to begin. By a quirk of fate,
you have Fidel Castro in your rifle sights and an opportunity to
change the course of history. Even as the new U.S. President John
F. Kennedy approved the doomed Bay of Pigs Invasion Plan, the
Castro government knew most of the details with plenty of time to
prepare defenses. A key element in this ill-fated plan is the
assassination of the Castro brothers and Che Guevara. The Mafia is
enlisted by the CIA to carry out this action. The central character
of Razzle-Dazzle, an American gambler and one-time intelligence
operative, Jake St. Aubin, is the best of the assassins assembled
by organized crime. By accident of fate, Jake finds with himself
with Fidel in his gun sights. He has plenty of incentive to pull
the trigger having lost his Havana nightclub and his fortune when
Castro ousted Batista. Betrayed, he spent nearly a year in a Cuban
prison camp. Now he can exact revenge and even ensure the outcome
of the invasion. Yet, by pulling the trigger, he risks losing
everything he loves. Set in a fascinating period of political,
technological, and social change, historical figures - some famous
and some yet to be famous - play significant roles. Razzle-Dazzle
puts its principal characters through peril and passion. Old
hatreds are rekindled, new loves found, and indomitable adversaries
overcome. One man caught up in America's first great intelligence
failure, Jake has only his unique skills, speed, courage... and
love to see him through.
