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.
Critics Review
“Talk about your killer snowstorm. Don’t flake out, but Marshall Karp has written one stone-cold mystery!”
“[An] adrenaline-fueled thriller from bestseller Karp.”
“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.”
“Intense and full of great character development…Marshall Karp is truly a talented author.”
“A compelling plot, with characters you immediately become invested in. Marshall Karp writes with the kind of attention to the details of law enforcement that distinguishes a great book from a good one—a rare find.”
“Snowstorm in August couples the charm of an unflinching true-crime narrative with an ambitious new vision of America’s war on drugs unlike anything you’ve read or watched before…I simply can’t wait to read more stories with the extraordinary characters Karp has debuted in this extremely enthralling and suspenseful smash-hit!”
