Detective Isaac Bell faces an attack on the Federal Reserve in this all-new adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Clive Cussler. 1914: As America s century of dominance dawns, the country s greatest detective, Van Dorn agent Isaac Bell, is pitted against a master thief and his assassin accomplice. They re plotting to pull off the greatest heist in America s history: the theft of a billion dollars from the newly created Federal Reserve. When an aerial attack is launched against Woodrow Wilson s yacht during a meeting among the Federal Reserve s branch leaders, Bell thwarts it, only to find that the strike was just the opening of an even deadlier gambit. It s up to Bell to find the link between the attack, the mysterious death of a Newport heiress, and growing evidence of an unimaginably audacious heist. Double-cross and betrayal are Bell s stock and trade, but this time, the deeper he delves into the puzzle, the less he seems to understand. He is in a race against his most ruthless opponent yet, to prevent a financial panic that would bring the United States to its knees.
