Synopses & Reviews
Detective Isaac Bell is back in an extraordinary new adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. It is 1921, and Prohibition is in full swingeven as millions still imbibe and ruthless criminals get rich overnight by selling them booze. Cops, Feds, and Coast Guardsmen are all susceptible to bribery. But when Bells boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and near-fatally wounded while chasing bootleggers, he enters the fray.
Bell promises Van Dorn that he will try to save the detective agency from the corrupting effects of Prohibition. But when the first witness to Van Dorns shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the CHEKA, the Russian Communist secret police, Bell finds himself combating men far more deadly than ordinary criminals. And hes about to fight a one-man war

Synopsis
Twentieth century detective Isaac Bell takes on the espionage-riddled world of warfare when America s naval research and development experts begin to die one by one in this #1 New York Times-bestselling historical action adventure.
1908 marks a year of ever-escalating international tension as the world plunges toward war. And with America on the brink, it comes as a devastating blow to learn of the apparent suicide of one of the United States most brilliant battleship-gun designers. The death becomes a media sensation, and the man s grief-stricken daughter turns to the legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency to clear her father s name. Van Dorn puts his chief investigator on the case, and Isaac Bell soon realizes that the clues point not to suicide, but to murder. As Bell notices more suspicious deaths among the nation s sharpest technological minds, he begins to suspect the work of an elusive spy somehow connected to a top-secret project called Hull 44.
But that is just the beginning. As the intrigue deepens, Bell will find himself pitted against German, Japanese, and British spies, in a mission that encompasses dreadnought battleships, Teddy Roosevelt s Great White Fleet, Chinatown, Hell s Kitchen, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Isaac Bell has certainly faced perilous situations before, but this time it is more than the future of his country that s at stake it s the fate of the world."
Synopsis
The extraordinary new novel in the #1 New York Timesbestselling series from the grand master of adventure. In October 1943, a U.S. destroyer sailed out of Philadelphia and supposedly vanished, the result of a Navy experiment with electromagnetic radiation. The story was considered a hoaxbut now Juan Cabrillo and his Oregon colleagues arent so sure.
There is talk of a new weapon soon to be auctioned, something very dangerous to Americas interests, and the rumors link it to the great inventor Nikola Tesla, who was
working with the Navy when he died in 1943. Was he responsible for the experiment? Are his notes in the hands of enemies? As Cabrillo races to find the truth, he discovers there is even more at stake than he could have imaginedbut by the time he realizes it, he may already be too late.
