"""With Covert City, Miami finally gets its due as a central artery of intrigue and skullduggery in American geopolitics. The fact that most of the events in this startling narrative unfolded outside the purview of mass media or beyond the knowledge of the general public is a testament to the murky residue of the Cuban Revolution. Houghton and Driggs, echoing William Faulkner's dictum that 'the past is never dead, it's not even past, ' shed new light on this history and trace the enduring legacies with insight and verve."" --T.J. English, New York Times-bestselling author of Havana Nocturne and The Corporation ""Lucid and entertaining, this adventuresome account covers well-trod ground with panache.""--Publishers Weekly ""[Houghton and Driggs] relate this intriguing story in the dramatic, provocative cadences of reality television, which will entertain fans of spy novels and histories."" --Booklist"
