You may remember Author David Pereda from a Q&A session last year. He’s back with a brand new book and wanted me to share the details with you. Take a look at the press release below.

Local author David Pereda, a former Latin American government consultant, has just released his latest thriller. Havana: Killing Castro, published by Eternal Press, is a 2009 Readers Favorite Award Winner with an intriguing story line. When an old fisherman is gunned down on a Mexican beach, prominent Miami surgeon DavidPereda Photo David Pereda Writes Second Mystery Thriller with Cuban Setting Raymond Peters becomes the prime suspect. The dead fisherman is believed to be Fidel Castro whom Dr. Peters had helped disguise through clandestine plastic surgery on a trip to Cuba two years earlier. But is the body really that of the Cuban leader? In order to save his own life, the beleaguered physician must solve the murder, find the killers and retrieve a mysterious journal. And this has to be done while outwitting a sensual but ruthless assassin named Marcela, sent by Castro’s brother Raul.

Havana: Killing Castro, the second in Pereda’s fast-moving series of mystery-thrillers set in Havana, has received rave reviews. Here is a sampling:

“The work is indeed a masterpiece of entertainment…” Gary Sorkin, Pacific Book Review

“The suspense grabs the reader from the beginning and holds it to the end…If you like a good mystery filled with espionage, you will enjoy this book.” Readers Favorite

“David Pereda has done it again. In Havana: Killing Castro, he continues intriguing readers with the story begun in Havana: Top Secret.” The Laurel of Asheville

David Pereda is an award-winning author who enjoys writing political thrillers and mainstream novels. Before devoting his time solely to writing and teaching, Pereda had a rich and successful international consulting career with global giant Booz-Allen and Hamilton, where he worked with the governments of Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Qatar, among others.HavanaKillingCastro 600dpi eBook Aw David Pereda Writes Second Mystery Thriller with Cuban Setting

What I learned then,” says Pereda, “has helped me enrich my novels with exotic places and credible characters.”

A member of MENSA, Pereda is the regional director of Florida Writers Association’s Western North Carolina division and the founder of AWE (Asheville Writing Enthusiasts). He lives with his family in Asheville, North Carolina.
