Randy Richardson, "Another Havana Hangover"
Featured Book
Another Havana Hangover
From the award-winning author of Havana Hangover comes the pulse-pounding sequel, Another Havana Hangover. Tanner Ford never meant to become a spy. He became one because Richard Swift—a Washington powerbroker with a talent for finding weakness—gave him no other choice. Swift doesn’t rule through force. He rules through leverage, fear, and systems designed to decide outcomes before anyone realizes they’ve lost. Now Swift’s reach is global. His power nearly untouchable. And Tanner is the man who helped him build it. To escape, Tanner must destroy the very machinery he once believed might redeem him. That means returning to Havana—the city that shaped him, scarred him, and still holds the people he left behind. As old loyalties resurface and long-buried betrayals demand payment, Tanner is forced to confront the cost of trust—and whether it can ever be earned again. Another Havana Hangover is a gripping story of espionage and reckoning, where the most dangerous lie isn’t the one you tell others—but the one you tell yourself about who you’ve become.
