Julio Antonio del Marmol joined thousands of others who escaped Castro's regime in Cuba. But unlike his peers, he becomes a spy and freedom fighter, working with intelligence services throughout the world. He leads one of the largest covert money-printing operations in history. This operation, codenamed "The Zipper," was created to finance counterterrorism and covert operations all over the world. It's his job to supervise a team that creates millions of dollars in US currency. Everything is going well until a trusted friend sets del Marmol up, pointing to him as a counterfeiter. Even though he has the undocumented sanction of government intelligence services, he's disavowed and abandoned. Facing a seventy-year sentence, he refuses to betray his team members. Sitting in jail, cut off from his contacts, he hatches a plan to escape-even as the Secret Service does everything in its power to convict him and send him away for life. Join a ghost agent who knew Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and Che Guevara-only to see family and friends killed by their regime. He gets his revenge, but it's a battle just to stay alive in The Cuban Lightning.
