The thrills come thick and fast in The Spy, Clive Cussler's addition to the series that began so spectacularly with The Chase.
Set in 1908 against a backdrop of mounting international tensions, The Spy again features Isaac Bell, an investigator for the legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency.
Bell is called into action after the suspicious death of a brilliant battleship designer, and it's soon apparent that this was no suicide but murder, especially when other deaths follow, all connected to the top-secret Hull 44 project. A devious foe is eliminating America's top technological brains in a plot that doesn't just put the future of Bell's country at stake – but the fate of the world!
