War in Cuba isn"t Ben Tyler"s concern. Still, sailing mares and guns into Havana harbor in 1898--right past the submerged wreckage of the U.S. battleship Maine--may not be the smartest thing the recently prison-sprung horse wrangler ever did. Neither is shooting one of the local Guardia, though the pompous peacock deserved it. Now Tyler"s sitting tight in a vermin-infested Cuban stockade waiting to face a firing squad. But he"s not dying until he gets the money he"s owed from a two-timing American sugar baron. And there"s one smart, pistol-hot lady at the rich man"s side who could help Ben get everything he"s got rightfully coming...even when the whole damn island"s going straight to hell.
