The Saboteurs

496 pages · First published 2022

When detective Isaac Bell prevents the assassination of a U.S. senator, he uncovers a conspiracy threatening the nearly completed Panama Canal. His investigation takes him to Panama, where a deadly construction-site bombing and a militant group known as the Red Vipers suggest that powerful interests are determined to destroy the engineering marvel. As former president Theodore Roosevelt prepares to visit the canal, Bell discovers that a dangerous German industrialist has his own deadly plans, while the kidnapping of Bell's wife, Marion, makes the investigation intensely personal. Facing ruthless enemies, hidden financiers, and escalating acts of sabotage, Bell must expose the conspiracy before the canal and countless lives are lost. Perfect for readers craving a fast-paced historical thriller filled with political intrigue, daring rescues, dangerous conspiracies, and turn-of-the-century adventure.
