It’s hard to imagine how Dick Wolf found the time to write a novel, considering the myriad spin-offs of his “Law and Order” television series, but it's good he did. THE INTERCEPT pits NYPD Special Agent Jeremy Fisk and his girlfriend, Kirsten Gersten, against a new and insidious attack by Muslim radicals in the Big Apple during the July 4th dedication of the new One World Trade Center building. If you think you know how the story ends, you'll be surprised as Wolf creates a realistic story of the war on terror. Peter Ganim keeps listeners engaged with powerful storytelling that gives personalities to even the most unsympathetic characters. His thrill-a-minute pace makes the audiobook impossible to stop. Bosses everywhere, forgive your commuting employees for showing up late! M.S.

Dick Wolf, the celebrated creator of the Law & Order television franchise, makes his literary debut with The Intercept, a taut, driving thriller reminiscent of the classic The Day of the Jackal.
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.
