Private detective Isaac Bell returns in Clive Cussler's The Wrecker.
1907: train wrecks, fires, and explosions sabotage the Southern Pacific Railroad's new express line . . .
The desperate railroad hires the fabled Van Dorn Detective Agency, who send their best man, Isaac Bell. He quickly discovers that a saboteur calling himself the Wrecker is attacking the Southern Pacific with accomplices recruited from down-and-outs - who are killed afterward. The Wrecker strikes wherever he pleases, causing untold damage and loss of human life. Who is he? What does he want? Is he an anarchist? A revolutionary? A criminal mastermind?
Whoever he is, whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create havoc. And Bell is convinced he is building up to a grand act unlike anything he has committed before.
If the Wrecker isn't stopped in time, more than a railroad is at risk - the future of the entire country is on the line . . .
Bestseller Clive Cussler - author of the Dirk Pitt novels Black Wind and Trojan Odyssey - and co-author Justin Scott pit legendary detective Isaac Bell against a mysterious murderer and railroad saboteur in the second novel of historical thriller series The Isaac Bell Adventures, The Wrecker.
Praise for Clive Cussler:
'The guy I read' Tom Clancy
'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail
A classic example of detective-book murder, it is satisfyingly difficult to resolve ... Leon whips up a brilliant narrative storm
—— Sunday TimesCompelling ... absorbingly detailed ... this is a powerful story, brilliantly evoking Venetian atmosphere, and the characters of Brunetti and his family continue to deepen throughout this series
—— The TimesDonna Leon's novels have become successively more subtle, more complex and perhaps more serious, without ever losing their compelling power as narratives. This is especially true of Wilful Behaviour; the story is wholly engrossing
—— Evening StandardIntricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural.
—— Laura Wilson , GuardianJohn Harvey shows he is one of the best crime writers around: perhaps even Britain's answer to the great Elmore Leonard
—— Mail on SundayGood Bait proves that John Harvey is always prepared to tackle something new and ambitious.
—— Barry Forshaw , IndependentHarvey really does have his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the criminal underworld and some of the more deprived areas of London. There's a real sense, not just of what's happening, but of why it's happening and where there are gaps in the net. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
—— thebookbag.co.ukWhat makes this book and John Harvey stand out is the writing and the characters... If you love crime you've got to read John Harvey.
