Cussler is best known for his Dirk Pitt novels which have hit the New York Times bestseller list several times. He is back in true storyteller form with his latest book, "
The Spy", which he co-authored with Justin Scott. This is their third collaboration on the expanding Isaac Bell detective series. Bell is a private investigator in the early 1900's who seems to have many of the same qualities of another famous detective from the past--Sherlock Holmes.
In this new novel, Detective Bell is called in to investigate the apparent suicide of a top designer of military weapons. The daughter of the dead man suspects foul play and, after looking into matters, so does Bell.
"
The Spy", a very good summer suspense thriller, seems to have breathed new life into Clive Cussler's long and successful writing career!
At first, I wasn't drawn to the Issac Bell character that Cussler had created in the first book. But by the time Cussler had written a second book with the Bell character, I was hooked. When I heard Cussler had written a third book with the Bell character, I had to read it. I wasn't disappointed. Cussler once again comes through. If you're a Cussler fan, don't miss the Isaac Bell series.
