Detective Isaac Bell's wife has said that he is always in the wrong place at the right time. This is certainly the case when Bell thwarts the attempted assassination of a United States Senator shortly after meeting the man. This is just the start of the mystery for Bell, who suspects that the would-be assassins have a much more dangerous agenda - one involving the nearly constructed Panama Canal.
Isaac Bell returns for another thrilling mission in a new book from the Grand Master of Adventure, Clive Cussler.
