This is a Military Mystery with a historic lens. You follow the main character through the hot hurricane blasted coast of Florida in the Keys and then down into Cuba as he tries to bring a group of men to justice for the atrocity of kidnapping and selling freedmen (Slaves that were freed in the Civil War) to Cuba. If that were not enough, he must battle with his heart over the woman he loves and abandoned, and war with himself over his Cuban Grandmothers desire to have him take over the slave run plantation she owns. A plantation that shames him to his core as a soldier that fought for slave freedom in America.
Reader beware. This book is a gristly lens on the world of that time. There are some very dark and painful points through out this book. It is written through the historic lens of that time so you will see words not appropriate for our time. And it reads in a Militaristic fashion as it is from the view point of a military sailor. Do not let that detour you however, it isn't my cup of tea, but even I can say with pure certainty it's a book you NEED to read.
