Used. Mass Market Paperback. Clive Cussler swaps modern marine salvage for steam-powered suspense in this roaring, locomotive-fueled historical thriller about the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse. When a merciless bandit terrorizes the early-twentieth-century American West, the feds unleash sharp-witted detective Isaac Bell to track down the elusive mastermind across dust, dynamite, and the fiery rubble of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. As Bell closes in on his cunning quarry and a mysterious woman holding the keys to the chaos, the hunter quickly discovers he is being hunted right back. It is a relentlessly fast-paced western adventure packed with enough twists and tension to keep you turning pages long after the coal runs out.
