• Dick Wolf is renowned for his straight-from the-headlines, tension-filled crime dramas, including the classic Miami Vice and the long-running Law & Order series, which received a record-making eleven consecutive Outstanding Drama Series Emmy nominations (tied with Cheers and M*A*S*H), and won the Emmy in the category in 1997. Wolf served as creator and executive producer of the four Law & Order dramas: Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and Law & Order: Los Angeles.

• The Intercept is the first in a new series featuring NYPD Detective Jeremy Fisk, a brash, but intuitive investigator who knows how to get what he wants, no matter what obstacles stand in the way. His partner, Krina Gersten, is a fourth-generation cop and a rising star on the force, a woman with tenacity, skill, and boldness akin to Wolf’s popular television detectives Olivia Benson (Law & Order: SVU) and Alex Eames (Law & Order: Criminal Intent).
 
 
 

Four days before the July Fourth holiday and the dedication of the new Freedom Tower building at ground zero in New York City, five passengers and a flight attendant bravely foil the hijacking of a commercial jet over the Atlantic Ocean. Thrust into the national spotlight, “The Six” as they are dubbed by the media, become instant celebrities, hailed for their bravery. But iconoclastic New York Police detective Jeremy Fisk believes there’s more to this than a simple open-and-shut case of an attempted terrorist act. Fisk—from the department’s Intelligence Division, a well-funded anti-terror unit modeled upon the CIA—suspects that this might be only a diversion and in reality the early warning signal that another, potentially more devastating attack is imminent.

Another passenger, a Saudi Arabian national, has disappeared into the crowds of Manhattan and now it’s up to Fisk to find him before the holiday celebrations begin. Watching each promising new lead fizzle, chasing shadows to dead ends, Fisk and his partner, Krina 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 every security weakness and anticipate Fisk’s every move. And time is running out.

Dick Wolf makes his literary debut with this extraordinary tale—a tense, driving drama reminiscent of the classic The Day of the Jackal—filled with the ingenious twists and high-wire drama we have come to expect from this master storyteller.
