Publisher's summary

Detective Isaac Bell returns in the remarkable new adventure in the number-one New York Times best-selling series.

It is 1902, and a bright, inexperienced young man named Isaac Bell, only two years out of his apprenticeship at the Van Dorn Detective Agency, has an urgent message for his boss. Hired to hunt for radical unionist saboteurs in the coal mines, he is witness to a terrible accident that makes him think that something else is going on, that provocateurs are at work and bigger stakes are in play.

Little does he know just how big they are. Given exactly one week to prove his case, Bell quickly finds himself pitted against two of the most ruthless opponents he has ever known, men of staggering ambition and cold-bloodedness...who are not about to let some wet-behind-the-ears detective stand in their way.

"The action flows swiftly, and the authors do a good job depicting the work conditions and the class warfare of the time." (Publishers Weekly)

Not the normal Isaac bell

It was pretty cool hearing the start of the Isaac bell legend, and have all the other van dorns alive, but it was a lot less twists and turns and shocking moments than the rest

Best Isaac Bell novel yet.

In my opinion, this was the best of the series so far. It was fun to learn more about Isaac bells backstory and seeing him when he was younger and less sure of himself.

Loved It

Such a great mix of understanding life in the 1900's. Cussler is so great at it. I was concerned when I read that the book goes back in time, to bell as a new PI, but at the end of the book it jumps into Bell's later days. A very good story. and Scot Brick is just the best. No question.
