Havana Nocturne

Book One of the Cold Veil Saga

1993

The Cold War is over… or so the world believes.

In the sweltering streets of post–Soviet Havana, American operative Beau Caliber is sent to investigate whispers of a weapon unlike anything seen before — a relic of a Soviet black project, now in the hands of the Cuban regime and a shadowy organization known only as Blackwake.

When his search leads him to Rafael Ortega, the proud owner of a legendary cigar factory, Caliber is drawn into a dangerous game of deception, politics, and betrayal. As the humid nights pulse with music and menace, Caliber uncovers a plot to auction the Sonata Device — a sound-based weapon capable of crippling entire cities — to the highest bidder.

But in a city where every street has ears, friends and enemies blur. An old flame reappears with motives he can’t trust, and Blackwake’s reach into Havana’s government is deeper than he feared. Racing against time, Caliber must navigate gunfights in back alleys, tense interrogations, and a final confrontation in a crumbling theater where the weapon is primed to sing its deadly note.

In Havana Nocturne, danger is never silent… and nothing is as it seems.

If you like James Bond, this is for You.

Decent pacing, interesting characters and intriguing teases at a bigger story. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
