The Cuban series
This is where our journey begins. Cuba, the uncertain country
The Cuban Series: A Retrospective
Every story begins with a single spark. For me, that spark was The Driver, a simple idea about a man, a car, and an impossible escape. It was meant to be a film, but Cuba itself became the real character. The island’s rhythm, its contradictions, and its unbreakable spirit demanded something larger. So I began to write, not just a story, but a world.
In The Driver, readers met Joel, a man torn between duty and desire, and Margarita Smith, whose charm concealed secrets of her own. The novel introduced a second voice that of Graham Grant, a Canadian writer whose curiosity would one day draw him into the storm. What began as a personal story of love and flight became the opening movement in a four-part symphony about truth and power.
The Investigator carried the story deeper. Through Roberto “Kiki” Sanchez, the series found its moral center a man loyal to his country yet haunted by its corruption. When Sanchez uncovered the hidden listening post in the sugar fields, the line between justice and betrayal blurred forever.
Then came The General. It was here that Raul Ortega took the stage, a man of conviction and compromise. I wanted readers to understand power not as evil, but as something far more dangerous: necessary. Ortega’s world was one where loyalty could destroy you and rebellion could save you or the other way around.
Finally, The Spy brought everything home. The rooftop scene above Havana, the president’s speech, the gunfire, the impossible choices it all converged in that single moment. Sanchez, Margarita, Ortega, and the President himself collided in a story that had been building since the first page of The Driver. For me, The Spy is the culmination of everything the series set out to explore: the cost of truth, the price of loyalty, and the courage it takes to stand alone.
The Cuban Series isn’t just about espionage, it’s about the human condition under pressure. Each book peels back another layer of morality, ambition, and love. Together, they tell one story: that freedom, in any form, is never free.

The Investigator
After the events of The Driver, Captain Sanchez—a principled yet conflicted investigator for the SIB (Special Investigations Branch) finds himself drawn into a labyrinth of deceit, espionage, and moral compromise. When a high-ranking official is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Sanchez is ordered to find the truth, but soon realizes that the truth itself may be forbidden.
The General
General Raul Ortega, a decorated Cuban war hero and trusted figure within the government, begins to suspect that the ideals of the revolution have been twisted beyond recognition. As the nation prepares for a political transition, Ortega finds himself caught between the will of the President, the ambition of corrupt ministers, and the quiet persistence of those pushing for democracy
The Spy
Intense, suspenseful, and emotionally resonant, The Spy reads like a film in motion—Gary’s cinematic writing immerses readers in Havana’s rooftops, Madrid’s alleyways, and London’s cold diplomacy rooms. The tone alternates between tense realism and quiet introspection, capturing the exhaustion of those who have lived too long in the shadows.
