Isaac Bell may be on the hunt for the greatest monster of all time in
this riveting action-adventure novel from #1 New York
Times-bestselling author Clive Cussler.
The year is 1911. Chief Investigator Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn
Detective Agency has had many extraordinary cases before. But none quite
like this.
Hired to find a young woman named Anna Pape who ran away from home to
become an actress, Bell gets a shock when her murdered body turns up
instead. Vowing to bring the killer to justice, he begins a manhunt
which leads him into increasingly more alarming territory. Anna Pape was
not alone in her fate--petite young blond women like Anna are being
murdered in cities across America.
And the pattern goes beyond the physical resemblance of the
victims--there are disturbing familiarities about the killings
themselves that send a chill through even a man as experienced with evil
as Bell. If he is right about his fears, then he is on the trail of one
of the greatest monsters of his time.
