BACK COVER 
Prominent Miami plastic surgeon Raymond Peters is still grieving over the loss of his wife, Rebbie, when his childhood friend Pepe Orozco, whom he hasn't seen or heard from in thirty years, reappears in his life with a shocking secret. Sonia, the teen-age sweetheart 
Raymond left behind in Cuba, was pregnant. Their son is terminally ill and wants to meet his father. Raymond travels to Cuba and finds himself immersed in a conspiracy with far-reaching political implications. He has been lured to the island as part of a plot to allow an ailing Fidel Castro to retire in Mexico and let the CIA run the country. Raymond learns he's really in Havana to perform plastic surgery on Castro and Pepe to switch their identities. Raymond can trust no one, including the alluring Sonia with whom he's rekindled a passionate romance. With his life and heart on the line, Raymond is forced to perform the surgery and escape Cuba. The question is: how?

Susan Blexrud, author of Love Fang, Fang Sui on May 31, 2009 at 12:17 PM said:

"In the vein of great suspense-thrillers, David Pereda upholds the genre with a Hispanic flair. If you like Harlan Coben, you're sure to enjoy David Pereda's fascinating take on a hired assassin, a kidnapped physician, a long-lost love, and Fidel Castro. Pereda imbues Castro with a personality that hits the bull's eye, and his characters keep you guessing as to their motives and their intent. Pereda's characters are flawed, yet sympathetic. Whose side is Pepe on? What part does El Jefe play? Will Marcela piece the puzzle together? Will Raymond and Mon reconcile? What's Teceira really up to? Surprise twists and turns infuse the plot to the very end. You won't be able to put it down, and you'll hope David Pereda has a sequel in store for his characters that prevail. Havana: Top Secret is a delightful read.

"Hang on for a dangerous thrill ride overflowing with surprising twists and turns. David Pereda’s Havana: Top Secret goes down as effortlessly as a mojito—with the kick of a tropical hurricane. Filled with memorable characters, a plot so outrageous it could be true, and an island-full of deceit and intrigue. What more could a thriller reader ask?"

Bill Ballew, author and magazine editor on May 13, 2009 at 08:57 PM said:

"Outstanding ... the work of a professional novelist. Havana: Top Secret was a whirwind of activity, one of the fastest reads I've enjoyed in many moons. I thought the entire book was outstanding. The way the author was able to weave together the complex storyline was impressive. I compare it to a bowl of spaghetti, with the end result being all of the noodles in straight lines. I really liked the way the plot followed the paths of Raymond and Marcela and weaved the story from their separate points of view. All of the characters were well developed. And I loved the ending. After every superb cliffhanger at the end of each chapter, I kept telling myself I had to take a break; but I couldn't because of the excellent story telling."
