The Execution

by Dick Wolf Narrated by Peter Ganim

Overview

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.

Fans of Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, and Robert Crais will love this high-flying thriller that blends suspense, politics, and intrigue in a fast-paced, action-packed read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Editorial Reviews

FEBRUARY 2014 - AudioFile

The second book in the Jeremy Fisk series by TV producer Dick Wolf (“Law & Order,” among other series) picks up right after the first. Fisk, a detective in the New York City Intelligence Division, scrambles to head off a terrorist attack while grieving over the loss of his partner and lover in the previous book. Peter Ganim returns to narrate this sequel, moving the story along evenly with a steady, consistent narration. While his delivery is weakened slightly by occasional lapses in emphasis and pacing, his strong baritone fits well with the story. His voices for the Mexican characters work well without suggesting stereotypes, and he makes effective use of lighter tones for female characters. M.L.R. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
