Snowstorm in August

The riveting new thriller from Marshall Karp, cocreator and coauthor, with James Patterson, of the #1 New York Times bestselling NYPD Red series

A CARTEL KINGPIN WITH ONE LAST DEADLY SCORE TO SETTLE

They call him el Carnicero--the Butcher. He is the most powerful drug lord on the planet, and when the city of New York incurs his wrath, he utters a single word: "!Venganza!"

With military precision, he strafes Central Park with 4,000 pounds of cocaine, killing hundreds of innocent people enjoying a summer afternoon.

The only NYPD unit trained to go up against this level of terrorism has been disbanded, but four anonymous billionaires retaliate by recruiting a task force of highly decorated retired cops. Armed with cutting-edge technology, former NYPD captain Danny Corcoran leads his team in a pulse-pounding thriller in their battle to stop the enraged head of a Mexican cartel from raining more death on the city.
