The Striker is the sixth novel in Clive Cussler''s Isaac Bell series.
It is 1902, and a bright, inexperienced young man named Isaac Bell, only two years out of his apprenticeship at the Van Dorn Detective Agency, has an urgent message for his boss. Hired to hunt for radical unionist saboteurs in the coal mines, he is witness to a terrible accident. And it begins to become clear that the trouble doesn''t stop with the men he''s looking for. Much bigger stakes are in play.
Little does he know just how big . Given exactly one week to prove his case, Bell quickly finds himself pitted against two of the most ruthless opponents he has ever known, men of staggering ambition and cold-bloodedness . . . who are not about to let some wet-behind-the-ears detective stand in their way.
In The Striker we meet Isaac Bell early in his career in an adventure that would show him just how dangerous and exciting his chosen profession would turn out to be.
From the master of adventure and action and creator of the Dirk Pitt Adventure series comes The Striker, the sixth exciting installment in the Isaac Bell detective series. Following The Thief and The Race, The Striker is another nail-biting, action-packed historical thriller from Top 10 bestselling author Clive Cussler.

Escrito por Clive Cussler
Clive Cussler (1931 - 2020) poseía una naturaleza tan aventurera como la de sus personajes literarios. Batió todos los récords en la búsqueda de minas legendarias y dirigiendo expediciones de NUMA, la organización que él mismo fundó para la investigación de la historia marina americana, con la que descubrió restos de más de sesenta barcos naufragados de inestimable valor histórico y que le sirvió de inspiración para crear dos de sus series más famosas, las protagonizadas por Dirk Pitt y por Kurt Austin. Asimismo, Cussler fue un consumado coleccionista de coches antiguos, y su colección era una de las más selectas del mundo. Sus novelas han revitalizado el género de aventuras y cautivan a millones de lectores. Los carismáticos personajes que protagonizan sus series son: Dirk Pitt (El complot de la media luna, La flecha de Poseidón, ...), Kurt Austin (La tormenta, Hora cero, ...), Juan Cabrillo (El mar del silencio, La selva, ...), Isaac Bell (El espía, La carrera del siglo, ...) o el matrimonio Fargo (El reino, Las tumbas, ...).
