20th century detective Isaac Bell protects a promising aviator from
her jealous husband in this remarkable adventure from #1 New York
Times-bestselling author Clive Cussler.
It is 1910, the age of flying machines is still in its infancy, and
newspaper publisher Preston Whiteway is offering $50,000 for the first
daring aviator to cross America in less than fifty days. He is even
sponsoring one of the prime candidates-an intrepid woman named Josephine
Frost-and that's where Bell, chief investigator for the Van Dorn
Detective Agency, comes in.
Frost's violent-tempered husband has just killed her lover and tried to
kill her, and he is bound to make another attempt. Bell has tangled with
Harry Frost before; he knows that the man has made his millions leading
gangs of thieves, murderers, and thugs in every city across the country.
He also knows Frost won't be after just his wife, but after Whiteway as
well. And if Bell takes the case . . . Frost will be after him, too.
