THE SPY

Narrator Scott Brick has a remarkable talent. When he reads adventure texts, he draws listeners in without overdoing it. We sit on the edge of our seats as he dramatizes scenes, characters, and dialogue, and we’re mesmerized. It is a “can’t-put-it-down” quality that is somehow built into Brick and his middle-American voice. In this book Cussler presents the third adventure of Isaac Bell and the Van Horn Detective Agency. Around 1908, just prior to the WWI, a vicious spy and his cohorts are working on ruining the relations of several nations; the Van Horn folks are sucked in. And listeners luck out.
