Turn-of-the-century detective Isaac Bell goes undercover as a coal
miner for his first solo mission in this novel in Clive Cussler's #1
New York Times bestselling series.
It is 1902, and a bright, inexperienced young man named Isaac Bell, only
two years out of his apprenticeship at the Van Dorn Detective Agency,
has an urgent message for his boss. Hired to hunt for radical unionist
saboteurs in the coal mines, he is witness to a terrible accident that
makes him think something else is going on...that provocateurs are at
work and bigger stakes are in play.
Little does he know just how big they are.
Given exactly one week to prove his case, Bell quickly finds himself
pitted against two of the most ruthless opponents he has ever known--men
of staggering ambition and cold-bloodedness who are not about to let
some wet-behind-the-ears detective stand in their way.
