Part of Isaac Bell, book 13
First published 2022
Detective Isaac Bell investigates stolen rifles from a Winchester factory in the sweltering summer of 1914. The thieves left behind something far more dangerous than they took: a radio transmitter designed to guide German submarines to American supply ships crossing the Atlantic. Bell realizes someone is orchestrating attacks on vessels carrying crucial supplies to Britain. With the Great War's outcome hanging in the balance and Franklin Roosevelt depending on his success, Bell must expose this conspiracy before the Atlantic becomes a graveyard. His investigation leads him to confront a familiar adversary while pursuing cutting-edge technology that gives Germany control over shipping lanes from New York to England. Bell races against time to stop the U-boats before they can strike again and cut off vital aid to British forces.
