About this listen

The Spy is the third of Clive Cussler's brilliant historical thrillers.

1908, and American engineering geniuses are being killed off one by one . . .

When a brilliant battleship gun engineer commits suicide, his disbelieving family turn to legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency. Quickly on the case, Isaac Bell establishes that the clues point not to suicide, but murder.

So when further deaths connected to a top-secret project follow, Bell realizes that this is sabotage. With the world plunging towards war, it's clearly a spy at large. But which of the many foreign agents he has encountered is responsible? Or is there a more sinister explanation?

In a blistering story featuring dreadnaught battleships and railroards, criminal gangs and beautiful women, The Spy is a breathtaking thriller that just happens to have at stake the fate of the world.

Bestseller Clive Cussler - author of the Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Crescent Dawn - and co-author Justin Scott place hero Isaac Bell at the centre of a mysterious espionage conspiracy in the third novel of historical thriller series The Isaac Bell Adventures, The Spy.

What did you like most about The Spy?

Superbly narrated by Scott Brick once again.
I wasn't drawn into the story as I have so often been with other Cussler stories, however this was still well worth the listen.
I realy enjoy Cusslers early 1900's detail. Such a fascinating period....

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favourite?

Isaac Bell of course...however some of the other Van Dorn operatives are interesting characters too...

Any additional comments?

Well worth a credit!

Another great Isaac Bell adventure....
