The Spy

By: Clive Cussler, Justin Scott

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Detective Isaac Bell, hero of The Chase and The Wrecker, returns in the remarkable new adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.

It is 1908, and international tensions are mounting as the world plunges toward war. When a brilliant American battleship gun designer dies in a sensational apparent suicide, the man's grief-stricken daughter turns to the legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency to clear her father's name. Van Dorn puts his chief investigator on the case, and Isaac Bell soon realizes that the clues point not to suicide but to murder. And when more suspicious deaths follow, it becomes clear that someone-an elusive spy-is orchestrating the destruction of America's brightest technological minds... and the murders all connect to a top- secret project called Hull 44.

But that is just the beginning. As the intrigue deepens, Bell will find himself pitted against German, Japanese, and British spies, in a mission that encompasses dreadnought battleships, Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet, Chinatown, Hell's Kitchen, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Isaac Bell has certainly faced perilous situations before, but this time it is more than the future of his country that's at stake- it's the fate of the world.

Turn of the century thuggary brought to life!

This was an excellent audio book. The words brought wonderful images to your mind and kept you wanting more. The characters were magnificently to life with amazing background that made you like and hate them. I recommend this book and the narrator was great with his accents, inflections and pauses for effect and drama.

1908 espionage case for Isaac Bell!

One does not associate a private detective with an espionage case, but in this great case set in 1908 Isaac Bell does have an espionage case. Clive Cussler writing with Justin Scott may be better than writing alone.

I loved the 10 year flash ahead at the end.

Great book narrated by the best narrator in the business!

Edge of your seat

Really enjoyed this one. Several times extended trip to get to a stopping point. Had me guessing who the spy was

Another Cussler solid story

I am enjoying the Issac Bell series. A wonderfully written storyline. So far it is giving the Oregon Files a run for the money!!
