Santa Clara, 1990. Capitán Roberto Almanza Fuentes commands an artillery battery in Cuba's Special Period military — underfed, undersupplied, and increasingly hollow. When a classified archive assignment reveals that his commanding officer is trading Soviet-era weapons components for imported consumer goods, Roberto becomes the one man who can prove it — and the one man who has to disappear before he's silenced.
Cold Coordinates is a novel about the arithmetic of conscience — what it costs to tell the truth, and what it costs the people left holding it after you're gone.
