The Bootlegger (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

Isaac Bell saves the day again.Great descriptions of the COMINTERN and gangsters. Relevant to today - Ever since the founding of the United States, there have been others (nations, state-sponsored political activists, unions going beyond the welfare of the worker, criminals, and now terrorists) that want to overthrow the United States. Even the best ideas and deeds can be bent to do evil. Young and old alike need to examine causes and think things through. Then act to do right and bring justice. Most novels by Clive Cussler routinely become a slam-dunk success. The collaboration on this new book with writer Justin Scott (pen name: Paul Garrison) also being a very successful author himself, makes this particular novel outstanding. Set during the 1920s prohibition era, Scott’s research and contributions make the story come alive with historically accurate detail and texture. I found the main characters to be believable and entertainingly original. The plot held my attention through its many twists and unpredictable turns. The action is fast-paced with very few slow chapters. If you’ve read any of Cussler’s novels prior to this one you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. If not, “The Bootlegger” is as good a place to start as any. It is highly representative of his best work. Finish this book and you’ll very likely want more of his titles in your library.
