Looking for a gift for Dad, your brother, husband or other male? Or maybe a friend who LOVES police procedurals? We've got a great book for you from the creator of the Law & Order TV series!
Synopsis:
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
Fisk—assigned to the department's Intelligence Division, a well-funded anti-terror 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 weakness and anticipate Fisk's every move . . and time is running out.

Review:
Law and Order creator Dick Wolf has written his first novel
entitled “The Intercept”. This novel is written in the same manner as many of
the episodes of his famous TV series. It is well written and well researched.
If this is his first I can hardly wait for follow-ups to this novel.
From page one this novel kept me captivated and thirsting
for more. Each of his characters is brought to life in a very creative manner.
Mr. Wolf introduces the reader to these people and lets you get inside their
heads and how they are driven to do the things each of them do. He takes the
two lead characters, both NYPD detectives and lets them define themselves as to
what they are and who they are. As the reader goes through this novel you would
feel as if you are right there with them at their sides.
The author takes each character and each plot and makes you
want to know what will be next. The two detectives are on a break neck manhunt
to track down terrorists. Each time they think that they have found the terrorists
it only leads them to find out where the next terrorists are.
This novel shows the determination of the terrorist’s mindset to do their evil
deeds. These bad guys are terrorists and will not stop at anything or anyone to
do harm to whom they think is against them and their cause. It is up to the two
detectives, Jeremy Fisk and Krina Gertsen to track the terrorists down and foil
their plot to kill innocent people. Follow them and the rest of the characters
and you will have a very exciting and spine tingling read.
