Charismatic, handsome, and fiercely loyal, Isaac Bell is a no-nonsense private detective at the Von Dorn Detective Agency. Travelling all over early 20th century America in pursuit of justice for his clients, chasing down a steam train in a sports automobile is all in a day's work for Bell. And while he's on the trail of thieves, killers, and sometimes much worse, he'll have to use his every last wit to stay ahead of those he seeks, and to stay alive. . .

The Saboteurs

As head of the US National Underwater and Maritime Agency's Special Assignment's Team, Kurt Austin is no stranger to danger - above or below the waves. Kurt's global assignments often bring him head to head with dastardly attempts to use the world's resources for evil, but he's never failed a mission yet.

Numa Files #18

Fast Ice

From the outside, The Oregon is a rustling hunk of junk. But beneath the ships decaying exterior lurks a state-of-the-art vessel equipped with a uniquely effective array of weaponry. It's manned by the charismatic Juan Cabrillo, chair of the US government sponsored organisation 'The Corporation'. Aided by his crew of mercenaries, Cabrillo takes the Oregon on missions that the law can't handle, dealing justice to villains who threaten chaos on a global scale.

The Oracle

Clive Cussler's most well-known and best-loved hero, Dirk Pitt is quick-witted, cool under pressure and uniquely resourceful. It's these character traits (and a thirst for adventure in service of his country) that make him the perfect man to head up NUMA, the US National Underwater and Maritime Agency. With his right-hand man Al Giordino always at his side, Dirk's NUMA expeditions have seen him face down mad villains, global terror threats, and attempts at world domination.

Isaac Bell #3

Isaac Bell is on the hunt for the killer of some of America's finest minds . . . 
 
1908. When a brilliant American battleship gun designer kills himself, his grief-stricken daughter is deeply suspicious. She turns to the legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency where chief investigator Isaac Bell finds clues that indicate murder. 
 
Uncovering more suspicious deaths, Bell realises that someone - an elusive spy - is orchestrating the destruction of America's brightest technological minds. And the murders all connect to a top-secret project known as Hull 44. 
 
As Bell gets closer to the truth and the spy himself he is pitted against German, Japanese, and British agents. More than the future of his country is at stake - it's the fate of the world.

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.
