Harbor of Spies: A Novel of Historic Havana

by Robin Lloyd - Fiction, Historical Fiction

HARBOR OF SPIES is a historical novel set in Havana in 1863 during the American Civil War, when the Spanish colonial city was alive with intrigue and war-related espionage. The protagonist --- a young American ship captain named Everett Townsend --- is pulled into the war, not as a Naval officer, as he had once hoped, but as the captain of a blockade-running schooner. The rescue of a man outside Havana harbor sets in motion a plot where Townsend finds himself trapped by circumstances beyond his control. He soon realizes how this good deed has put his own life in danger, entangling him in a sensitive murder investigation.
