Book-The Chase by Clive Cussler HB-5076
$3.50
Cussler takes a breather from his several ongoing series with this
historical thriller set in the western states, circa 1906. The U.S.
government hires the renowned Van Dorn Detective Agency and its
equally renowned lead agent, Isaac Bell, to capture the bank robber
known as the Butcher Bandit. The Butcher has gunned down 38 men and
women and two children, leaving behind neither witnesses nor clues.
Bell heads the manhunt and finally figures out the Butcher's true
identity, which is when the real chase begins. Unfortunately,
Cussler's style is patterned on the clunky dialogue (I pray you catch
the murdering scum) and improbable characters of the period's dime
novels, and his in-depth research makes his descriptions sound like
advertising. Once San Francisco gets hit by the 1906 earthquake and
the principals climb aboard a pair of fire-breathing locomotives, the
novel cranks up a head of steam and some high-speed thrills. Ship
