This is the latest nerve-shredding adventure thriller in the popular Isaac Bell series from international bestseller Clive Cussler. As Van Dorn private detective Isaac Bell strives to land a government contract to investigate John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil monopoly, the case takes a deadly turn. A sniper begins murdering opponents of Standard Oil, and soon the assassin — shooting with extraordinary accuracy at seemingly impossible long range — kills Bell's best witness, a brave and likable man. Then the shooter detonates a terrible explosion that sets the victim's independent refinery ablaze. Bell summons his best detectives to scour the site of the crime for evidence. Who is the assassin and for whom did he kill? But the murders-shootings, poisonings, staged accidents-have just begun as Bell tracks his phantom-like criminal adversary from the 'oil fever' regions of Kansas and Texas to Washington, D. C. , to the tycoons' enclave of New York, to Russia's war-torn Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea, and back to America for a final, desperate confrontation. And this one will be the most explosive of all. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Cussler is hard to beat'. (Daily Mail). 'The guy I read'. (Tom Clancy). 'The Adventure King'. (Sunday Express).
