Turn-of-the-century Detective Isaac Bell takes on the upstart leader of a vicious crime organization in this novel in the #1 New York Times -bestselling series. It is 1906, and in New York City, the Italian crime group known as the Black Hand is on a spree: kidnapping, extortion, arson. They like to take the oldest tricks and add dynamite. When a coalition of the Black Hand's victims hire out the Van Dorn agency to protect their businesses, their reputations, and their families, Detective Isaac Bell forms a crack squad and begins scouring the city for clues. And then he spots a familiar face. The stakes grow ever-higher, with the Black Hand becoming more ambitious, and their targets more political. If Bell can't determine the role played by the face from his past, the next life lost could be one of the most powerful men in the nation.

Reviews#1 USA Today bestseller Globe and Mail fiction bestseller Toronto Star fiction bestseller Maclean's fiction bestseller Praise for The Gangster "Cussler has written another wonderful historical thriller.The action is fast and thoroughly enjoyable." -- Library Journal "This latest Bell thriller combines a vivid historical environment with a top-notch story and enjoyable, realistic characters. Bell, the detective whose nimble intellect often gets him out of tight situations, is one of Cussler's most engaging protagonists, and the series...remains fresh and exciting -- Booklist "Fascinating and suspenseful plot" -- Praise for the Isaac Bell adventures "The Isaac Bell series continues to tell compelling stories. Tidbits of history are sprinkled throughout the narrative, and it's fun to filter out fictional characters and events from historical facts." --Associated Press "Cussler and Scott have written another wonderful page-turner. This is historical action-adventure fiction at its rip-roaring best!" -- Library Journal (starred review) "As always in this series, the novel is very exciting, with excellent pacing and some very well-drawn characters. Cussler is a perennial A-lister, popularity-wise, and his Isaac Bell novels are the pick of his prodigious litter." -- Booklist "The seventh page-turner featuring indomitable detective Isaac Bell--great fun from one of the better Cussler series." -- Kirkus Reviews
