Publisher's summary

Detective Isaac Bell's investigation into an attempted assassination brings him to the construction site of the Panama Canal - and straight into a nest of vipers - in the latest adventure in the number-one New York Times-best-selling series from Clive Cussler.

Detective Isaac Bell's wife has said that he is always in the wrong place at the right time. This is certainly the case when Bell thwarts the assassination of a US senator shortly after meeting the man. This heroic rescue is just the start of the mystery for Bell, who suspects that the would-be assassins have a much larger and more dangerous agenda - one involving the nearly constructed Panama Canal. While the senator supports the building of the canal, there are many, including a local Panamanian insurgency known as the Red Vipers, who never want to see its completion.

With millions of dollars and the fates of two nations at stake, Bell heads to Panama to find answers. After a deadly bombing at the canal's construction site, he is determined to stop the insurgents - or whoever is funding them - before they can attack again.

Another 5-star trip back in time.

Clive Cussler's "Issac Bell" series is one of my favorite Historical Fiction series of all times. It is also one of my favorite "Who Dunnit" crime series of all times. Combined in one series... it is an unbeatable and an amazingly accurate trip back to the early 1900's crime fighting. This book is as captivating and imagination immersing as the books in the series before it. The worst part of the book is coming to the end and realizing it will be 2 or 3 more years before a new one is available. Great, relaxing, fun summer read.

Excellent adventure

A yarn that would have made Clive proud to have put his name too. Engaging and though an audio book, a page turner

As usual, just great.

You just can't beat the combination of this character and this narrator. The story ended too soon.

Great Read!

Jack did a great job with this novel. Most impressive descriptions of the monumental feet of the construction of the Panama Canal, with historical context. Really great ending.

Missed

The plots had the twists and turns I enjoy with Bell the continuing hero. Scott Brick did his excellent narration. But, I missed the many additional characters usually included in an Issac Bell novel.
