Trick-or-Treat Mercenary: Family skeletons in a Cold War closet

By K.M. Hughes

Book Overview

It was a stormy Halloween night in 1960 when an American father of five disappeared on a plane that was bound for Cuba and loaded with three improvised bombs. Why would this ex-Navy pilot leave everything behind to join the Cuban revolution, giving up his American citizenship and risking his life on a mission for revenge against Fidel Castro? After years of secrets and silence about her father's disappearance, his daughter Karen decided it was time for answers. Heavily censored government files, meetings with Cuban exiles in Miami, discovering an aunt who was a spy, an eye-opening solo journey to Havana, and a surprising revelation from the CIA are all part of the story of her odyssey to discover the truth about who her father really was and what really happened.
