Dirk Pitt is forced to make a daring rescue at the excavation site of an antiquated submarine in the waters around New York City.
His reward is a document left behind a century earlier by legendary detective Isaac Bell – a document that re-opens a historical mystery . . .
Colorado 1911
Isaac Bell is asked to look into an unexplained tragedy at Little Angel Mine. His dangerous quest to answer that riddle leads to something much bigger – the discovery of a rare element with extraordinary powers and of virtually incalculable value.
As he discovers that there are people who will do anything to control the substance, Isaac Bell must find out how far he’ll go to stop them . . .
Delivering explosive action, knife-edge plotting and page-turning intrigue, The Titanic Secret proves once again that Clive Cussler is the best in the business.
The locations in the novel are vague or fictional such as the mine in Colorado but the ones in New York and of course those of the Titanic are very much real.
The iconic ship does appear but not really until the end of the novel. The book is more about the events leading up to the sinking and what was going on at the same time, in other parts of the world.
There is plenty of intrigue about what might have been on board the ship, the mining industry and the greed of men.
Destination/location: Atlantic Ocean, New York, Paris, Colorado Author/guide: Clive Cussler Departure Time: 1912
