520			_aCussler takes a break from his various adventure series to conjure up a historical standalone that will please longtime fans and thrill new ones. In 1906, the American West is still expanding. With the cities still distant from one another, a ruthless criminal nicknamed "The Butcher Bandit" takes advantage, robbing banks, killing all witnesses, and seemingly disappearing into thin air. Recruited to end the crime spree is Isaac Bell, one of the best outlaw hunters in the country. His adversary proves to be exceptionally cunning, and Bell will have a tough time not only proving the identity of the killer but also staying alive long enough to catch him. Cussler clearly had a lot of fun writing this. The details of early 20th-century America and the novel's thrill-a-minute pace will add another best seller to his resume.
