Book description
Private detective Isaac Bell returns in Clive Cussler's The Wrecker.
1907: train wrecks, fires, and explosions sabotage the Southern
Pacific Railroad's new express line . . .
The desperate railroad hires the fabled Van Dorn Detective Agency,
who send their best man, Isaac Bell. He quickly discovers that a
saboteur calling himself the Wrecker is attacking the Southern Pacific
with accomplices recruited from down-and-outs - who are killed
afterward. The Wrecker strikes wherever he pleases, causing untold
damage and loss of human life. Who is he? What does he want? Is he an
anarchist? A revolutionary? A criminal mastermind?
Whoever he is, whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create
havoc. And Bell is convinced he is building up to a grand act unlike
anything he has committed before.
If the Wrecker isn't stopped in time, more than a railroad is at
risk - the future of the entire country is on the line . . .
