Detective Isaac Bell returns in the extraordinary new adventure in the #1 New York Times–bestselling series.It is 1920, and both Prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing.

When a witness to Van Dorn’s shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals. Bell is up against a team of Bolshevik assassins and saboteurs—and they are intent on overthrowing the government of the United States.**
