Clive Cussler Der Coup

About this book

Detective Isaac Bell faces an attack on the Federal Reserve in this all-new adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Clive Cussler. In the summer of 1914, Isaac Bell attends a private meeting on Woodrow Wilson's presidential yacht, as Wilson addresses the newly launched regional Federal Reserve banks. Just after Wilson introduces a plan for new currency notes, the yacht comes under attack from a bi-wing airplane. Bell shoots down the plane with a machine gun and saves everyone aboard, but the attack was only the first of his problems. While responding to a curious murder scene in Rhode Island, Bell learns of a heist planned for the new federal currency printing and engraving building in D.C.. Bell must track down the thieves and the counterfeit currency before the new Federal Reserve system—and America's economy—is destroyed.
