The Bootlegger
It is 1920, and both Prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing. When Isaac Bell’s boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed while leading the high-speed chase of a rum-running vessel, Bell swears to him that he will hunt down the men responsible. But Bell doesn’t know what he is getting into. When a witness to Van Dorn’s shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals.
In a trail that leads from the ravages of post-World-War-I Europe to the speakeasies of New York, to the lawless streets of Detroit and Florida’s lavish beachside resorts, Isaac tracks the footsteps of a enterprise more ingenious and far-reaching than any he has ever known. For this is no mere bootlegging operation, but a powerful international organization with the very downfall of America in its sights . . .

Clive Cussler
Before most thriller writers were sending heroes across collapsing ice shelves or into sunken wartime submarines, Clive Cussler was already there, charting the coordinates.
Born in 1931 in Aurora, Illinois, and raised in Southern California, Cussler grew up close enough to the Pacific to feel its pull. The ocean was not background scenery for him, it was a question mark. After serving in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War as a flight engineer and mechanic, he moved into advertising, where he learned the art of momentum, how to seize attention quickly and never let it drift. That instinct would later define his brand of adventure fiction.
