Sunday

Van Dorn lead detective Isaac Bell observes WWI for President Wilson, and becomes involved with anarchists.

I used to read a lot of Cussler decades ago, but Dirk Pitt basically became a cartoon super hero. I got back into him with the Isaac Bell and Fargo series. Cussler has been gone for five years, but Isaac Bell seems to be in danger of crossing the same line as Dirk Pitt.

I just downloaded Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets.
