Genre:
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. And it begins to become clear that the trouble doesn't stop with the men he's looking for.
Much bigger stakes are in play. Little does he know just how big .
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.
In "The Striker" we meet Isaac Bell early in his career in an adventure that would show him just how dangerous and exciting his chosen profession would turn out to be.
From the master of adventure and action and creator of the "Dirk Pitt Adventure" series comes "The Striker", the sixth exciting instalment in the "Isaac Bell" detective series.
Following "The Thief" and "The Race", "The Striker" is another nail-biting, action-packed historical thriller from Top Ten bestselling author Clive Cussler.
