Publisher Description
Isaac Bell may be on the hunt for the greatest monster of all time in this riveting action-adventure novel from #1 New York Times–bestselling author Clive Cussler.
The year is 1911. Chief Investigator Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Detective Agency has had many extraordinary cases before. But none quite like this.
Hired to find a young woman named Anna Pape who ran away from home to become an actress, Bell gets a shock when her murdered body turns up instead. Vowing to bring the killer to justice, he begins a manhunt which leads him into increasingly more alarming territory. Anna Pape was not alone in her fate—petite young blond women like Anna are being murdered in cities across America.
And the pattern goes beyond the physical resemblance of the victims—there are disturbing familiarities about the killings themselves that send a chill through even a man as experienced with evil as Bell. If he is right about his fears, then he is on the trail of one of the greatest monsters of his time.

"Issac Bell the greatest detective of all time. Maybe not as quirky as the great Sherlock Holmes, but nonetheless a legend. This particular novel was a wonderful new take on the most infamous murderer of all time; Jack the Ripper. But Clive Cussler really delivers a knock out with the twists and turns of this story. You will be guessing all the way to the end. And it truly is one heck of an ending. "

Cussler and Scott have written another wonderful page-turner. This is historical action-adventure fiction at its rip-roaring best!
— Library Journal (starred review) -
As always in this series, the novel is very exciting, with excellent pacing and some very well-drawn characters. Cussler is a perennial A-lister, popularity-wise, and his Isaac Bell novels are the pick of his prodigious litter.

The Isaac Bell series is a fun jaunt into America’s past and the books are a wonderful examination of life in the early twentieth century.
