This Cussler kid is prolific. He follows the Patterson method of book production by working with multiple authors on multiple series.
I've switched to the Isaac Bell series and have read three of them.
They follow the adventures of Isaac Bell a turn of the century detective working for the Van Dorn agency (think Pinkertons) It's all about trains, old cars, and motorcycles and chases across america in the Dawn of the Industrial era.
In The Chase, Bell is up against a tricky bank robber who murders everyone in the bank so there is never an eye witness, which makes him a prolific serial killer as well. The setting is San Francisco in 1906, so you'll never guess what happens during the course of the investigation.
In The Wrecker, Bell museum stop an anarchist from destroying the Southern Pacific railroad. But is it actually an anarchist behind this sabotage or something else. Best of all The Wrecker wields a spring loaded sword to kill some of his victims.
The books are quite fun and there are plenty of them. The purity of the romance between Bell and his paramour work in this old-time setting where it felt odd in the Fargo series.
I will continue to read these.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
