The Chase (An Isaac Bell Adventure)($39.00Value)

Description

A remarkable adventure from the limitless imagination of Clive Cussler. Clive Cussler is the author of many New York Times bestsellers, most recently The Spy and Lost Empire . He lives in Arizona. Cussler fans will discover a change of pace in this thriller, set in 1906. The Butcher Bandit is on the loose across the West, emptying bank vaults and ruthlessly killing scores of innocent people, including women and children. Isaac Bell, lead agent of the top-notch Van Dorn Detective Agency, crisscrosses the colorful territory to crack the case. Reader Scott Brick breathes life into the clichŽd characters and stilted dialogue. Through BrickÕs capable voice, Bell is a savvy and quick-shooting manÕs man, who is capable of showing sensitive interest in a woman. BrickÕs excellent phrasing and skilled pacing enhance CusslerÕs heavy-handed but loving descriptions of the eraÕs locomotives. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake kicks off the fast-paced conclusion, including one of CusslerÕs trademark chase scenes.
