fortune lost for over forty years . . .

trace. In desperation, the US Government calls in Isaac Bell, the best
detective in the country. From Arizona to Colorado to the streets of
San Francisco during the great quake, Bell uses all his guile and

But when Bell has him almost cornered - the Bandit turns really
nasty. And suddenly the stakes have changed. Bell isn't just battling
to get his man. He's fighting for his very survival . . .
