The Corridor Wars: The Eagle Alone

By R. M. Calderón

Key West, 1940. With Washington sitting out the war, the front line is a pier. Lt. Cmdr. Jack Mallory's cutter keeps finding "agricultural machinery" with padded hearts-lathes, radio crystals, and mercury-slipped into Florida by men with perfect cufflinks and wooden "consular pouches." In Miami, an OSS recruiter named Nell turns warehouse ordinances and public scales into sabotage by paperwork. In Havana, reporter Ana Vald s follows grease-pencil numbers from charity picnics to secret icehouse bays and a fixer who smells like wood that sailed too far. Together they wage a lawful, lawless campaign-float lights, man-overboard "accidents," and stamps that read PELIGRO-ALMAC N MUNICIPAL-to delay a corridor arming America's doorstep. As the north wind rises and the shipments shift, a whisper points west: if they hold the Straits one hour longer, Panama-and then Baja-will need new hinges.
