About the Book

What happens to an American lawyer who goes on an embargo violating vacation to Castro's Cuba and gets involved in cigar smuggling, political intrigue, and sexual escapades?

He gets into all the trouble in the world!

This is the story told in Mick Connors’ new adventure novel Cigar Runners, subtitled, Sex, Cigars, and Con Men in Castro’s Cuba, it is the saga of the American cigar smuggler the Cuban police named el Zorro Plata, the Silver Zorro.

Covering a five year period from 1994 to 1999 the author's research into Cuban politics, the tourist sex trade, and the international cigar smuggling market is transformed into an exciting adventure novel totally different from anything you have ever read.

Unlike the usual fiction and non-fiction political literature about Cuba, Cigar Runners  is written in a humorous, thrilling, and outrageous style. The 120,000 word novel tells an extraordinary tale of international intrigue, sensuality, and adventure.

Extremely funny and impeccably researched, this book is being called "Harry Potter for Adults," and is sort of what Hunter Thompson might have written had he experienced fear and loathing in Havana instead of Las Vegas.

This story of international adventure follows our hero from the United States to Cuba, passing through Canada, Panama, Mexico, Switzerland, and Belize along the way.

The Silver Zorro stays one step ahead of the authorities as his smuggling adventures crescendo into a life, death, jail, or exile finale!
