THE BOOTLEGGER

Sinopsis de THE BOOTLEGGER

It is 1920, and Prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing. When Isaac Bell's boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed leading the high-speed chase of a rum-running vessel, Bell swears to him that he will hunt down the lawbreakers. But he doesn't realise that far bigger stakes are in play. When a witness to Van Dorn's shooting is executed in a ruthless manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals. Bell must face a team of Bolshevik assassins and saboteurs - who are intent on overthrowing the United States government. With all the searing pace and incredible imagination that are Cussler's hallmark, The Bootlegger is an extraordinary new adventure, which proves once again that we are in the hands of the World's No. 1 Adventure Writer.
