TROPIC OF DARKNESS

A haunting supernatural/ occult thriller--a classic ghost story presented as a chilling novel of suspense set in the exotic locale of Havana, Cuba.

Jack Gilliard is a man with a dark past. He hasn't been back to the United States for more than a decade. But when he washes up in Havana, Cuba, he finds himself being drawn into a business darker than he ever dared think, involving ancient passions, ancient treacheries, an age-old curse. The night-lit evils of the past are now consuming the present--and Jack is caught in the middle of it all. To survive, all he has to do is leave the country--a prospect much more difficult than anticipated. But the real question is: can Jack escape before the darkness claims him altogether?
