Introducing a fearless Cold War protagonist who's cut from a different cloth.
He's a young man from the housing projects of New York City who's thrust into a byzantine world of international intrigue at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
His name is Daniel Guerrero - former All-American football star, senior at Georgetown University and summer intern for UN Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson.
In the fall of 1962, he learns his beloved uncle has been found dead at the bottom of a ravine in the Central Mountains of Puerto Rico. Certain of foul play, he sets out to find his killer and uncovers an unbelievable plot to hijack Soviet nuclear weapons led by a powerful Cuban American cartel. His uncle's tragic death was merely collateral damage.
With the help of the ambassador, a couple of old CIA cronies and a beautiful Russian nuclear technician, Daniel valiantly pursues the terrorists from the wretched back alleys of Old Tampico to the dusty oil fields of East Texas while the uneasy truce of the world hangs in delicate balance.
Louis G. Santiago is a compelling new author who explores a plot within a plot, seamlessly blending dodgy street characters drawn from his past, together with well-known historical figures and true events in a fast-paced mélange of espionage, conspiracy, and murder.
