About this listen

A secret buried in Cuba—and a pair of down-on-their-luck Florida journalists following a trail of smoke and mirrors to dig it up in a twisty short story by a New York Times bestselling author.

Who are cash-strapped George and Jay to say no to a stranger’s offer of $10,000? The gig: fly to Havana and retrieve the old gent’s “family valuables,” hidden in Cuba since the Revolution. All expenses paid. At their disposal is a safe place to stay, a driver, a crudely drawn map, and a translator and guide. And what a guide. She’s a knockout named Carmen, lush and movie-star gorgeous. But their lady in Havana arrives with a warning: Trust no one. To say the least. Because nothing on this scavenger hunt is what it seems. George and Jay are unearthing more than they bargained for, and something few would ever believe—if they live to tell about it.

Critic reviews

“Timothy Andrés Pabon perfectly fits his narration to the tone of the work. Coming in at a scant 85 minutes, the audio features clever dialogue between the journalists and their Cuban contacts.… Pabon performs the work quickly and efficiently but never sounds rushed.… the story itself is interesting, and the journalism situations ring true.” AudioFile Magazine

Good short story and decent pace. Good description of what Cuba could look like now. Recommend for a quick read.

The storyline was one of the most interesting and unique of the Audible Originals I've listened to, and the narrator was outstanding. Loved it!

This story never went anywhere. So boring. Very disappointed. Was so interested about how it would incorporate Cuba but not good.
