The Spy by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott

In 1908, the world stands on the brink of war — and America’s race to build the deadliest battleships has become a battleground of its own. When a brilliant naval engineer is found dead under suspicious circumstances, investigator Isaac Bell is called to uncover the truth.

What he discovers is a trail of deception that stretches from New York shipyards to the far reaches of the Pacific. A master spy is at work — a phantom whose mission is to sabotage America’s future fleet and tip the balance of power toward chaos.

As Bell closes in, the stakes rise beyond espionage. In a deadly game of wits, one man’s courage will decide the fate of nations — and the course of history itself.
