Clive Cussler: The Heist

An Isaac Bell Adventure, Book 14

De: Jack Du Brul

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Detective Isaac Bell faces an attack on the Federal Reserve in this all-new adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Clive Cussler.

1914: As America’s century of dominance dawns, the country’s greatest detective, Van Dorn agent Isaac Bell, is pitted against a master thief and his assassin accomplice. They’re plotting to pull off the greatest heist in America’s history: the theft of a billion dollars from the newly created Federal Reserve.

When an aerial attack is launched against Woodrow Wilson’s yacht during a meeting among the Federal Reserve’s branch leaders, Bell thwarts it, only to find that the strike was just the opening of an even deadlier gambit. It’s up to Bell to find the link between the attack, the mysterious death of a Newport heiress, and growing evidence of an unimaginably audacious heist.

Double-cross and betrayal are Bell’s stock and trade, but this time, the deeper he delves into the puzzle, the less he seems to understand. He is in a race against his most ruthless opponent yet, to prevent a financial panic that would bring the United States to its knees.

Archie and Marion help

I liked that Archie and Marion were more involved in helping Issac with this adventure. It made the story much more believable and enjoyable for me.

All The Gang is Back ++ A Few New Ones

I love this new partner with Clive Clussler. He seems to be closest in writing style like Clive. They’ve been some other authors paired with Clive that I didn’t care for. So I hope to see more from this pair. It’s so interesting The way history is rewritten into these stories. I love Marian style and antics. Of course Scott Brick is Isaac Bell. His moral code is exemplified in the story.
Were my comments of help?

Excellent!

My favorite Cussler series is Sam and Remi Fargo but these Bell books are great. And this book is among the very best of them all! I especially loved the diabolically clever criminals. Bravo!

Could Isaac Bell be second guessing himself?

Liked it all! Decent though twisting plot. Get to see a different side of Isaac Bell.

Suspense

Love this. Just when you think you know how it is about to end it gets better.

Quintessential Du Brul with Philip Mercer as a guest Isaac Bell

Clive and Jack were/are the pinnacle of exquisitely architected writing with unique backstory starting points combined with innovative plot mechanisms. Albeit formularic at times, but entertaining, with audacious exploits and frequent what the ? twists that send the story rollicking off in unexpected paths.

Won't give anything away, but the VanDorn motto veracity is again proven.

Would love to read about the resulting adventure based on Isaac's grandson, as the current head of the VanDorn agency, recruiting Philip Mercer to help solve a case.

Pretty intricate one, this one

It was great 👍🏻 Jack carries on for Clive 👍🏻👍🏻 very intricate story 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and the 15 word minimum review length is silly

Sorta far fetched.

Good book story. Scott Brick is best narrator and can salvage this long story line

Action packed!

Clive does a great job of keeping one engaged! The story takes many turns, but is easy to keep up with.

Another Stellar Story

Jack Du Brul has delivered another great action-packed Isaac Bell story. Bell matches wits with a clever and diabolical villain. Very entertaining! As always, fantastic performance by Scott Brick.
