The Ultimatum LP

Detective Jeremy Fisk tracks a serial sniper using terrifying, airborne state-of-the-art technology in this dynamic next novel in the New York Times bestselling series from Law & Order creator Dick Wolf.

When sensitive documents from the NYPD Intelligence Division are posted on WikiLeaks, and suddenly everyone-including some baddies-now has access to Det. Jeremy Fisk's unlisted home address, Fisk knows he has to be a little more careful. Only hours later three unidentified assailants show up at his Sutton Place apartment looking for blood. Who are these guys working for and why do they want Fisk dead?

Forced from his home and with his bank accounts drained, Fisk confronts Chay Maryland, a New York Times reporter who has been covering the case of Verlyn Merritt, the whistleblower who posted the government secrets and is now sitting in jail. Fisk hopes that Chay can help him get a little closer to Merritt-and find out what he really wants and if he might be working with a mysterious co-conspiritor who is threatening to kill innocent people if Merritt stays in jail.

This co-conspiritor is a serial sniper who has begun shooting people on the street who seem to have no real connection to the case. More frightening, no one knows how he's done it. Fisk believes he might be using a drone especially equipped with unusual sighting capabilities. Then the New York Times receives a threatening message from the sniper-who calls himself Yodeler-that says: For the greater good of the citizens of America, each and every day I shall sacrifice one person in New York City... Now Fisk and Chay must find out Yodeler's identity, motivation, and ultimate goal-before the city becomes frozen with fear.

This is a masterful, broad-shouldered American thriller full of swagger and surprises, and one that ends in a heart-stopping, very dramatic showdown that no suspense lover will soon forget.
