The Chase

Meer over het boek

In 1950, a rusting steam locomotive is recovered from a Montana lake, revealing three bodies and a clue to a long-lost fortune. Flashback to 1906: banks across the western U.S. are terrorized by the 'Butcher Bandit,' a ruthless bank robber who empties safes and murders witnesses, disappearing without a trace. In response, the U.S. Government enlists Isaac Bell, the nation’s top detective. From Arizona to Colorado and into the chaos of San Francisco's great quake, Bell employs his cunning and resourcefulness to track down the deadly Bandit. Just as he closes in, the Bandit escalates his violence, shifting the stakes dramatically. Bell finds himself not only pursuing justice but fighting for his own life. This thrilling narrative marks the beginning of the Isaac Bell Adventures series, which continues with subsequent titles. Clive Cussler, a master of action-packed storytelling, has captivated readers for decades with his gripping novels, including the Dirk Pitt, NUMA, Oregon Files, and Fargo series. The Isaac Bell Adventures, including titles like The Wrecker and The Spy, are available from Penguin, showcasing Cussler's enduring appeal in the historical thriller genre.
