Riassunto

An adrenaline-fueled thriller debut in the tradition of Three Days of the Condor from the famed creator of TV's Law & Order, featuring NYPD Detective Jeremy Fisk, who is New York City's last hope against an ingenious, multi-pronged terrorist attack.

Days before a New York City July 4th celebration and the dedication of the new One World Trade Center building, five passengers and a flight attendant bravely foil the hijacking of a commercial jet. Becoming celebrities overnight, they are thrust into the national media spotlight and dubbed The Six . But New York Police Detectives Jeremy Fisk and Kirsten Gersten--members of the secretive Intelligence Division, a well-funded anti-terror unit within the NYPD that has been modeled upon the CIA--suspect that the hijacking may have been only a diversion designed to distract authorities so another passenger on board could sneak inside the United States amid the frenzy.

Now that passenger, a Saudi Arabian national, has entered Manhattan and disappeared into thin air. It's up to Fisk to track him down before the weekend is out. But each time he thinks he's found his man, he realizes his opponents are smarter and more agile than any we have faced before, that they have discovered yet another weakness in our defense, and are anticipating Fisk's every move.

With its ingenious plotting surprises and high-wire drama, this is the novel Dick Wolf was born to write and a debut of the highest caliber.

Recensione:

The Intercept is the hottest thriller of the year. Superbly written and amazingly intense, Dick Wolf has created an action-packed masterpiece. Picture Robert Ludlum writing for 24 and you're only halfway there. Do not miss this incredible novel. Intercept yours ASAP! (Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Black List)

Dick Wolf's The Intercept is nail-biting, page-turning, twisty suspense. Warning: If you value sleep, don't start this one late at night. (Harlen Coben, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Stay Close)

An adrenaline-fueled, ripped-from-the-headlines suspense novel, as befitting a renowned TV crime drama writer and producer. The Intercept goes where few thrillers have gone before, charting the inner workings of the nation's fight against terrorism as one New York detective races against the clock to stop an elusive cell of elite terrorists. It does for the NYPD's Intelligence Division what Thomas Harris did for the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. In this novel, danger is always closer than you think.
