Detective Isaac Bell's investigation into an attempted assassination
brings him to the site of the Panama Canal--and straight into a nest of
vipers--in the latest adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling
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 attempted assassination of a United States 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 the 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.
