Suspense | Thriller
Dick Wolf makes his literary debut with this tense, driving
thriller, reminiscent of the classic The Day of the Jackal,
an extraordinary tale filled with the ingenious twists and
high-wire suspense we have come to expect from this master
storyteller Days before the July Fourth holiday and the dedication of
One World Trade Center at Ground Zero, an incident aboard a
commercial jet flying over the Atlantic Ocean reminds
everyone that vigilance is not a task to be taken lightly.
But for iconoclastic NYPD detective Jeremy Fisk, it may also
be a signal that there is much more to this case than the
easy answer of this being just the work of another lone
terrorist. Fisk—assigned to the department's Intelligence Division, a
well-funded antiterror unit modeled on the CIA—suspects that
the event might also be a warning sign that another,
potentially more extraordinary scheme has been set in
motion. Fluent in Arabic and the ways of his opponents, Fisk
is a rule breaker who follows his gut—even if it means
defying those above him in the department's food chain. So
when a passenger from the same plane, a Saudi Arabian
national, disappears into the crowds of Manhattan, it's up
to Fisk and his partner Krina Gersten to find him before the
celebrations begin. Watching each new lead fizzle, chasing shadows to dead ends,
Fisk and Gersten quickly realize that their opponents are
smarter and more agile than any they have ever faced.
Extremely clever and seemingly invisible, they are able to
exploit any security weak-ness and anticipate Fisk's every
move . . . and time is running out.

Re: The Intercept
For a debut book, it is totally professional and top-notch! That is to be expected, of course, from Dick Wolf, the creator of LAW & ORDER.
I would definitely recommend THE EXECUTION for anyone who likes suspense and/or police procedural books! Absolutely riveting! (Audrey Lawrence 9:38pm January 30, 2014)
