Jeremy Fisk is a New York police detective specializing in
anti-terrorism. When the United Nations holds its General
Assembly in September, Fisk is in the thick of it,
babysitting diplomats and escorting visiting dignitaries
around town. A cartel-style mass killing ups the ante. Fisk
and his unwilling partner, a Mexican detective, must not
only find out who's behind those gruesome murders,but they
have to figure out who's the ultimate target for
assassination.
Dick Wolf crafts an intricate dance of death in THE
EXECUTION. It begins just a few months after Wolf's first
Fisk novel, "The Intercept." Fisk has been through leave and
counseling from those events, and he's just getting back to
work when the new threat emerges. Wolf takes us where he
never could with his television series--into the heart and
mind of a New York City detective. The plot is well thought
out, every character individualized with exacting detail. As
the clock ticks down to a historic meeting between the U.S.
and Mexican presidents, Wolf ramps up the intensity for Fisk
and Mexican detective Cecilia Garza. They will put their own
lives on the line to stop the threat and end a cycle of
atrocities.
If you enjoy mysteries, police procedurals, or political
thrillers, you are in for a treat. THE EXECUTION is the best
of all those genres, wrapped up with a bow. I, for one, am
looking forward to Jeremy Fisk's next assignment.
NYPD Detective Jeremy Fisk—introduced in Law &
Order creator Dick Wolf’s New York Times
bestselling debut The Intercept—must stop an
assassin in the pay of a shadowy cartel in The
Execution, a tense thriller that superbly blends
suspense, politics, intrigue and high-flying action in the
tradition of Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, and Robert
Crais.
Ten days after the Mexican presidential
election, twenty-three bodies are discovered beheaded on the
United States border, each marked with a carving of a
Hummingbird. Detective Cecilia Garza of the Mexican
intelligence agency recognizes it: it is the signature of an
assassin called Chuparosa. Garza has been pursuing the
killer for years, yet knows little about him, except that
he’s heading to New York—with the rest of the
world.
It’s United Nations Week in Manhattan and
Jeremy Fisk can’t let grief over a devastating loss keep him
from safeguarding his city. Complicating matters is the
startling news of a mass murder in nearby Rockaway—and the
arrival of a disturbingly beautiful and assertive Mexican
cop.
To have a chance at finding Chuparosa, these
uneasy allies must learn to work together and fast. As they
soon discover, there’s more to this threat than meets the
eye—and that justice is not always blind.
