NEW FROM CROWN · OCTOBER 13, 2026“The Havana Syndrome is terrific, and terrifying. The authors have cut through the fog of secrets, screwups and cover-ups to bring you this illuminating book. It will rob you of your sleep and send shivers up your spine.”
-Tim Weiner, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of The Mission and Legacy of Ashes
“A blistering exposé of a frightening technology, and the equally frightening silence shrouding it.”
-Kirkus Review
“The Truth Is Out There... but start with this book.”
-Chris Carter, Creator of the X Files
Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados are Emmy Award-winning investigative producers at 60 Minutes and co-authors of The Havana Syndrome, the definitive account of secret weapons, a government cover-up, and the greatest spy mystery of our time.
THE BOOKFor nearly a decade, Rey and Zill have been chasing one of the most consequential and deliberately buried stories in modern American intelligence history: the systematic targeting of U.S. spies, diplomats, and soldiers by a weapon the government refused to acknowledge existed.
The Havana Syndrome, published by Crown on October 13, 2026, is the result of that investigation. More than 100 interviews, classified medical records, whistleblower testimony, intercepted communications, and evidence the CIA would rather you never read.
Rey and Zill de Granados have spent their careers at 60 Minutes and CBS News pulling on threads that official sources would prefer left alone. Rey broke stories on Cuban spy networks operating inside the United States and the Lance Armstrong doping scandal. Zill de Granados investigated mysterious deaths among enemies of Vladimir Putin, sanctions evasion by Russian oligarchs, and insurance fraud buried inside Florida hurricane claims. Together, they spent nearly a decade on the Havana Syndrome reporting that preceded this book. The work here is an extension of that. It doesn't stop when the broadcast ends.
