The new thriller in the number one New York Times best-selling Isaac Bell series from grand master of adventure Clive Cussler.
As Van Dorn private detective Isaac Bell strives to land a government contract to investigate John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil monopoly, the case takes a deadly turn. A sniper begins murdering opponents of Standard Oil, and soon the assassin - shooting with extraordinary accuracy at seemingly impossible long range - kills Bell's best witness, a brave and likable man. Then the shooter detonates a terrible explosion that sets the victim's independent refinery ablaze.
Bell summons his best detectives to scour the site of the crime for evidence. Who is the assassin and for whom did he kill? But the murders - shootings, poisonings, staged accidents - have just begun as Bell tracks his phantom-like criminal adversary from the "oil fever" regions of Kansas and Texas to Washington, D.C., to the tycoons' enclave of New York, to Russia's war-torn Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea, and back to America for a final, desperate confrontation. And this one will be the most explosive of all.

Where does The Assassin rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Clive Cussler is one of my favorite authors and the Isaac Bell series is my favorite. It has all the excitement of the Dirk Pitt books, but a bit more subtle (if that's a word that can be used with Cussler). The Assassin ranks right up their with the best. The John D. Rockefeller info was interesting and inspired me to look up some info on the old megalomaniac.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Jumping from one cliff hanger to the next is Cussler's Hallmark. This book was no exception and as always, the jumps were well thought out and artfully described.Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was the escape from Baku with JD Rock in tow. I loved how Bell & co had to literally drag the old geezer out of harms way.Any additional comments?
I have a long commute every day and listening to audio books keeps me entertained and alert. Isaac Bell stories also add a layer of historical fiction to the mix and I enjoy that. I'm glad we returned to more turn of the century times (19th) as I enjoy that setting. My only complaint is that it was too short. With 3 hours every day to listen, I can finish a book like this in just a few days.Another Great Romp

A few feats of Bell's seem unbelievable, much like Mission Impossible, but the knowledge of balloons, oil refineries, and electric work are all to be commended. Custler does his homework well.
Best Bell Yet
