Vowing to bring the killer to justice, Bell comes across an alarming reality. Anna is not alone to be murdered, other girls like Anna (petite and blond) have also been brutally murdered in the cities across America.
As the pattern goes beyond physical resemblance of the victims there are disturbing familiarities about the killings themselves that send a chill through even a man as experienced with evil as Bell. If he is right about his fears, then he is on the trail of one of the greatest monsters of his time.”
Bell and his team discover that the serial killer was termed “Cut Throat” for his throat slitting tendencies. They discover that the killer kills all those connected to traveling theatre from London to Los Angeles to of course New York.
The Cut Throat is a spectacular novel right from the start to the end. “Cussler packs more action, intrigue, and suspense than ever before, topping it off with a fascinating villain worthy of squaring off with Bell. “
“Sometimes my plot lines are so convoluted, I get calls from friends at 3 am saying; you SOB, you’ll never pull this one off.” — Clive Cussler
