Sinossi
New York, 1911. Isaac Bell, detective di spicco dell’agenzia investigativa Van Dorn, è alle prese con un caso di ordinaria amministrazione. Anna Pape, una giovane donna che ambisce a diventare un’attrice di successo, è scappata di casa, forse proprio per inseguire il suo sogno. Bell non ci mette molto a trovarla, ma il caso si conclude tragicamente: la ragazza è morta. Assassinata in modo brutale.
Per l’investigatore privato comincia un’indagine ben più complessa di quanto potesse sembrare, che cerca di far luce sul movente e sulla mente perversa che ha concepito questo atroce delitto.
Ma l’omicida sembra non essersi fermato: Anna, infatti, non è l’unica vittima. Come lei, molte altre giovani donne vengono trucidate negli angoli bui di diverse città degli Stati Uniti, e un dettaglio inquietante le accomuna tutte.
Isaac Bell potrebbe trovarsi sulle tracce di uno dei più grandi mostri del suo tempo. E farà tutto il possibile per fermarlo.

2 1/2 stars While I love a good story about Jack the Ripper I found the plot dull and predictable, maybe I wasn’t in the right mood for this sort of story? However the ending was jam packed and I really enjoyed it despite not liking most of the novel! Maybe one day I’ll pick this up again and will h Leggi tutto
Another solid Issac Bell Adventure. I always enjoy a new Clive Cussler read. The plot was well done the mixture with history (Jack the Ripper) was fun. A good read
Isaac Bell meets Jack the ripper, I really enjoy the Isaac Bell books I've read they are fun fast reads. I think the part I enjoy most is the setting of the series, the early 20th century. This was a great read.
This is not one of my favorite Issac Bell stories. I can't exactly say why but it just did not hold my attention. I listened to the book and I had to repeat some of the sections. No I did not figure it out before the end. I did expect the ending to wrap things up with Issac going back to the father
