The Bootlegger (An Isaac Bell Adventure)

The Bootlegger (An Isaac Bell Adventure)

When Detective Isaac Bell's mentor is shot, the turn-of-the-century investigator traces the attack from a booze-smuggling operation back to a team of international saboteurs in this #1 New York Timesâ‚¬â€œbestselling series.
Â
It is 1920, and both Prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing. When Isaac Bellâ‚¬s boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed while leading the high-speed chase of a rum-running vessel, Bell swears to him that he will hunt down the men responsible. Â But Bell doesnâ‚¬t know what he is getting into. When a witness to Van Dornâ‚¬s shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals.Â

In a trail that leads from the ravages of post-World-War-I Europe to the speakeasies of New York, to the lawless streets of Detroit and Floridaâ‚¬s lavish beachside resorts, Isaac tracks the footsteps of a enterprise more ingenious and far-reaching than any he has ever known.Â For this is no mere bootlegging operation, but a powerful international organization with the very downfall of America in its sights . . .
