I missed an Isaac Bell? Other than a bit too muck fight detail, a good read that ties into real disasters of the day,

The first thought that comes to mind is that I have found Jack Armstrong, the all-American boy in print. A second thought is that Isaac Bell is a sort of Pauline Marvin (Perils of Pauline). But Cussler holds one's interest as Bell breezes through a tale that is delightfully complicated but also circular. ( )

I was afraid that Isaac Bell had gone the way of the Van Dorn Detective Agency! Rest assured that he is back and in capable hands. This is Du Brul's third in this series after beginning with 7 of the Oregon Files novels. The plot, characters, and history continue to be well done, but this former nurse takes exception with some of the more dramatic recoveries. Some of the more notable references are to the Barnegat Light (how I miss Bernie Rhodenbarr), Secy of the Navy F. D. Roosevelt, and many more. Fast pace with lots of subplots and fascinating characters and situations. Loved it! Can't wait for the audio!
I requested and received an e-ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Putnam/G.P. Putnam's Sons via NetGalley. Thank you also to copyright holder Sandecker RLLLP for continuing to back this Series and all the others. ( )
