Mapping the Blind Spots of the Law
In a fifty-square-mile strip of Idaho wilderness, a loophole in the Sixth Amendment creates a perfect legal vacuum. A man could stand on a specific line of latitude, commit a felony, confess to the authorities, and constitutionally walk free simply because the government cannot impanel a jury.

Mapping the Blind Spots of the Law

In a fifty-square-mile strip of Idaho wilderness, a loophole in the Sixth Amendment creates a perfect legal vacuum. A man could stand on a specific line of latitude, commit a felony, confess to the authorities, and constitutionally walk free simply because the government cannot impanel a jury.

It is known as the Zone of Death. But it is not an anomaly. It is a symptom.

In Coordinates, bestselling author Scott Kauppinen opens the archives on the hidden geography of North America: the places where the map lies and the law falters. From the fog-bound sovereignty trap of Machias Seal Island, where lobster fishermen operate in a regulatory void, to the jagged "seams" of Akwesasne, where five different police forces claim, and deny, jurisdiction over the same square foot of earth.

These are not lawless lands by design, but by error. They are the result of surveyor mistakes made in 1783, treaty clauses forgotten in 1846, and constitutional paradoxes that have sat ticking in the federal register for centuries.

Tracing the paper trails of surveyors, diplomats, and desperate residents, Coordinates reveals a terrifying truth: our nations are not solid blocks of sovereignty. They are a patchwork, stitched together by bureaucrats who left gaps in the fabric.

And in those gaps, the rules of civilization do not apply.
