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.
