A vibrant, volatile city pulsing with mystery.

In the midst of World War II, Havana becomes a crossroads of espionage, where Nazi spies, FBI operatives, and MI6 agents move through a shadow play in which nothing is what it seems.



The Other Spy, H.L. Guerra’s compelling new novel, masterfully reconstructs the story of Heinz August Lüning—the only German spy ever executed in Latin America. But this is not a biography, nor a conventional historical chronicle. It is a gripping, revelatory narrative inspired by real events.



With figures like Ernest Hemingway, Meyer Lansky, and Ambassador Spruille Braden woven into the plot, the novel transports us to a Havana transformed into a cauldron of intrigue, where the hunt for spies has become a national obsession.



Who was Heinz Lüning, really?

And what secrets lay buried beneath his sentence?
