Detective Isaac Bell, hero of The
Chase and The Wrecker, returns in the remarkable
new adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling
author.
It is 1908, and international tensions
are mounting as the world plunges toward war.
When a brilliant American battleship gun designer
dies in a sensational apparent suicide, the man's
grief-stricken daughter turns to the legendary
Van Dorn Detective Agency to clear her father's
name. Van Dorn puts his chief investigator on
the case, and Isaac Bell soon realizes that the
clues point not to suicide but to murder. And
when more suspicious deaths follow, it becomes
clear that someone-an elusive spy-is orchestrating
the destruction of America's brightest technological
minds... and the murders all connect to a top-
secret project called Hull 44.
But that is just the beginning.
As the intrigue deepens, Bell will find himself
pitted against German, Japanese, and British spies,
in a mission that encompasses dreadnought battleships,
Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet, Chinatown,
Hell's Kitchen, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Isaac
Bell has certainly faced perilous situations before,
but this time it is more than the future of his
country that's at stake- it's the fate of the
world.
