Law & Order Series Producer: Dick Wolf makes his literary debut with The Intercept (William Morrow, $27.99), a tense, driving thriller, an extraordinary tale filled with the ingenious twists and high-wire suspense we have come to expect from this master storyteller. 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 that vigilance is not a task to be taken lightly. But for NYPD detective Jeremy Fisk, it may also be a signal that there is much more to this case than the easy answer of this being just the work of another lone terrorist. Fisk--assigned to the department's Intelligence Division, a well-funded antiterror unit modeled on the CIA--suspects that the event might also be a warning sign that another, potentially more extraordinary scheme has been set in motion. When a passenger from the same plane, a Saudi Arabian national, disappears into the crowds of Manhattan, it's up to Fisk and his partner Krina Gersten to find him before the celebrations begin. Fisk and Gersten quickly realize that their opponents are smarter and more agile than any they have ever faced. Extremely clever and seemingly invisible, they are able to exploit any security weakness and anticipate Fisk's every move…and time is running out.
