Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency is hired to form a special "Black Hand squad," but the gangsters appear to be everywhere -- so much so that Bell begins to wonder if there are imitators, criminals using the name for the terror effect. And then the murders begin, each one of a man more powerful than the last, and as Bell discovers, to his dismay, the ultimate target may be the most powerful man of all UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1617/2015298922-b.html UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1617/2015298922-d.html UR - https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1617/2015298922-s.html ER -
