The Race

Clive Cussler and Justin Scott write the fourth installment in the Isaac Bell series. This book is a "flight of fancy" featuring a cross country airplane race and the attendant problems for one of the entrants - Josephine Josephs Frost. There are the usual cast of characters; Archie Abbott and Marion Morgan (not surprising Cussler enjoys using alliterative names). There is also the attention to period detail. The story has the requisite villians and action sequences. The ending is obvious but there is enough fun along the way to make it worth your while in time and money.
