Book crit: The Bootlegger (Isaac Bell #7)

Detective Isaac Bell returns in an extraordinary new adventure in the series.

The story is set in 1920 where both prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing in America.

When Isaac Bell’s boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed in a high-speed chase of a rum-running vessel, Bell swears to him that he will hunt down the lawbreakers.

Bell did not know what he was getting into.

When a witness to Van Dorn’s shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals. Bell is up against a team of Bolshevik assassins and saboteurs and they are intent on overthrowing the government of the United States.
