Synopsis

NYPD Detective Jeremy Fisk—introduced in Law & Order creator Dick Wolf’s New York Times bestselling debut The Intercept—must stop an assassin in the pay of a shadowy cartel in The Execution, a tense thriller that superbly blends suspense, politics, intrigue and high-flying action in the tradition of Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, and Robert Crais.

Ten days after the Mexican presidential election, twenty-three bodies are discovered beheaded on the United States border, each marked with a carving of a Hummingbird. Detective Cecilia Garza of the Mexican intelligence agency recognizes it: it is the signature of an assassin called Chuparosa. Garza has been pursuing the killer for years, yet knows little about him, except that he’s heading to New York—with the rest of the world.

It’s United Nations Week in Manhattan and Jeremy Fisk can’t let grief over a devastating loss keep him from safeguarding his city. Complicating matters is the startling news of a mass murder in nearby Rockaway—and the arrival of a disturbingly beautiful and assertive Mexican cop.

To have a chance at finding Chuparosa, these uneasy allies must learn to work together and fast. As they soon discover, there’s more to this threat than meets the eye—and that justice is not always blind.

From the Back Cover:

NYPD Detective Jeremy Fisk hunts a ruthless assassin working for a cartel in the second installment of Dick Wolf's New York Times bestselling series

When a number of bodies is discovered on the U.S.-Mexico border, each carved with a bizarre hummingbird symbol, Mexican Detective Cecilia Garza recognizes the image immediately. It's the calling card of a killer called Chuparosa, a man both feared and celebrated for his cunning and brutality. Detective Garza has pursued the man for years; she knows he's merciless and she knows he's headed to New York City . . .

It's United Nations Week in Manhattan and Jeremy Fisk—an agent in the NYPD's anti-terror Intelligence Division—can't let grief over a devastating loss keep him from his duty to safeguard the city and the world's most powerful leaders. When he gets news of a mass murder in nearby Rockaway—and the arrival of a beautiful and assertive Mexican detective determined to do things her way—Fisk soon discovers that there's much more to this threat than meets the eye . . . and he will have to learn the hard way that justice is not always blind.
