In The Chase, Clive Cussler introduced an
electrifying new hero, the tall, lean, no-nonsense detective Isaac Bell,
who, driven by his sense of justice, travels early-twentieth-century
America pursuing thieves and killers . . . and sometimes criminals much
worse. — It is 1907, a year of financial panic and labor unrest.
Train
wrecks, fires, and explosions
sabotage the Southern Pacific Railroad's Cascades express line and,
desperate, the railroad hires the fabled Van Dorn Detective Agency. Van
Dorn sends in his best man, and Bell quickly discovers that a mysterious
saboteur haunts the hobo jungles of the West, a man known as the
Wrecker, who recruits accomplices from the down-and-out to attack the
railroad, and then kills them afterward.
The Wrecker traverses the vast
spaces of the American West as if he had wings, striking wherever he
pleases, causing untold damage and loss of human life. Who is he? What
does he want? Is he a striker? An anarchist? A revolutionary determined
to displace the "privileged few"? A criminal mastermind engineering some
as yet unexplained scheme?
Whoever he is, whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create
maximum havoc, and Bell senses that he is far from done-that, in fact,
the Wrecker is building up to a grand act unlike anything he has
committed before. If Bell doesn't stop him in time, more than a railroad
could be at risk-it could be the future of the entire country.
Filled with intricate plotting and dazzling set pieces, The Wrecker is one of the most entertaining thrillers in years.
