The Intercept

Front Cover
Harper Collins, Dec 26, 2012 - Fiction - 402 pages
"Part police procedural and part ticking-bomb thriller," an espionage novel from the celebrated creator of Law and Order television franchise ( The New York Times).
Days before the July Fourth holiday and the dedication of One World Trade Center at Ground Zero, an incident aboard a commercial jet reminds everyone involved that vigilance saves lives.
But New York Police detective Jeremy Fisk—from the department's Intelligence Division, a well-funded anti-terror unit modeled upon the CIA—suspects that the event is a warning sign that another, potentially more extraordinary scheme has been set in motion. So when a passenger from the same plane disappears into the crowds of Manhattan, it's up to Fisk and his partner Krina Gersten to find him before the celebrations begin . . . And time is running out.
