Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,974
It is 1906, and in New York City, the Italian crime group known as the Black Hand is on a spree: kidnapping, extortion, arson. Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency is hired to form a special Black Hand Squad, but the gangsters appear to be everywhere - so much so that Bell begins to wonder if there are imitators, criminals using the name for the terror effect. And then the murders begin, each one of a man more powerful than the last, and, as Bell discovers to his dismay, the ultimate target may be the most powerful man of all.

When Isaac Bell’s boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed leading the high-speed chase of a rum-running vessel, Bell swears to him that he will hunt down the lawbreakers, but he doesn’t know what he is getting into. When a witness to Van Dorn’s shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals. Bell is up against a team of Bolshevik assassins and saboteurs - and they are intent on overthrowing the government of the United States.

Another good Bell Adventure
Any additional comments?
The Assassin is another enjoyable part of the Isaac bell series. This time Bell is on the trail of an assassin bent on revenge - who will stop at nothing in order to achieve their goal.
Scott Brick turns in another flawless performance (he really is a credit to Audible).
Similarly to the other books in the Isaac Bell series, you don't necessarily need knowledge of past escapades to enjoy this one (although it does help in my opinion).
For me, The Wrecker is the benchmark in the Isaac Bell series, and The Assassin falls just short of that. Still, if you're a Cussler (or Bell) fan, then you'll undoubtedly enjoy this one too.

Another good book, but could have been better
Scott Brick delivered a masterful reading, as always, but this story felt lacking compared to Cussler's earlier novels. still enjoyed it, but not as much as the others.
