What to expect
The riveting new thriller from Marshall Karp, cocreator and coauthor, with James Patterson, of the #1 New York Times bestselling NYPD Red series
A CARTEL KINGPIN WITH ONE LAST DEADLY SCORE TO SETTLE
They call him el Carnicero—the Butcher. He is the most powerful drug lord on the planet, and when the city of New York incurs his wrath, he utters a single word: “¡Venganza!”
With military precision, he strafes Central Park with 4,000 pounds of cocaine, killing hundreds of innocent people enjoying a summer afternoon.
The only NYPD unit trained to go up against this level of terrorism has been disbanded, but four anonymous billionaires retaliate by recruiting a task force of highly decorated retired cops. Armed with cutting-edge technology, former NYPD captain Danny Corcoran leads his team in a pulse-pounding thriller in their battle to stop the enraged head of a Mexican cartel from raining more death on the city.

“Chris Andrew Ciulla deftly handles the multiple voices…[and] keeps the proceedings entertaining, nimbly moving between New England and Mexican accents and capturing the easy camaraderie among the ex-cops. Michael Manuel handles the story’s transitions. He is all business between the thrilling passages, anchoring the drama with scene-setting.”
