The Gangster

Isaac Bell #9

Summary

Join Private Detective Isaac Bell as he navigates the seedy back alleys of New York, in the ninth book in the action-packed series from Sunday Times bestseller Clive Cussler.

Crime, corruption and murder. . . a vicious organisation is terrorising the city and only one man can stop them.


The Black Hand Strikes

1906, New York City. Italian gangsters calling themselves the Black Hand terrorize citizens in a menacing spree of kidnapping, extortion and arson.

Who dares stop them?
Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency is hired to form a special 'Black Hand Squad' - but with each gangster caught a new one appears on the street. Are these new recruits or other criminals imitating the Black Hand? Where are these men coming from?

Murder is just the beginning . . .
Then the killings start. Each victim is a man more powerful than the last. Bell is convinced that he's facing a murderous organization hell bent on bringing the city to its knees.

But that's before he discovers their ultimate target - the most powerful man in the country: the President of the United States . . .
