The Ultimatum

 

 

Character development is everything in a novel and Detective Jeremy Fisk the main character has his challenges cut out for him right off the start when he finds our he has had his name and addressed released by Wiki leaks. He immediately is on the run and has to move from his home in fear of retaliation for his life all while trying to catch a serial killer/sniper nicknamed “The Yodeler”. This book is a one step ahead of the good guy kind of books where you never know what will happen or who will be killed each day as “The Yodeler” seems to be killing at random. Question is are they really killings at random or are they related to each murder in some way. Detective Jeremy Fisk has to put all the clues together from Drones, to type of specific bullets or any other information needed to hunt and catch this Killer. 

 

The book starts out by filling in all background of Jeremy Fisk and where he is at in his stage of life by fleeing his place of residence due to his and many other Detectives and agents personal addresses released via Wiki Leaks. He has to track down the individual who released that information as well as try to catch this serial killer who has yet to be discovered by the media

 

This book starts out a little slow as it fills the background of Detective Jeremy Fisk and how his background and life in general is turned upside down from his personal address and information released via Wiki Leaks to the public. I would recommend this book to any police, detective and murder mystery genre style. My rating is a 4 out of a 5 star rating as this book has a great storyline, but is a bit slow to start any action over the first few chapters. Each chapter doesn’t give any name or number of the chapter, yet just flows from one chapter then a break then into the next chapter and has book one, two and three within.

The Execution

Jeremy Fisk has been cleared for police duty only it won't be the kind he was hoping for. It's United Nations Week in New York City which means he will be working Intel in aiding foreign dignitaries for their week long summit. After losing his former partner and girlfriend Krina Gersten in a terrorist plot what was discovered before it had a chance to be carried out, he still had feelings that justice had not been served the way he would have wanted. Even though the trial carried with it a guilty verdict, Fisk still wanted more than just seeing the man responsible spending life behind the bars of prison.

Fate would see to it that Fisk would be allowed that brief moment to right the wrongs he felt he was due in life and no one would be able to prove he had anything to do with it. Hoping to find out just what information they could gleen from Swedish Muslim terrorist Magnus Jenssen before he was locked up for good, Fisk was granted the opportunity to speak to him privately as long as he didn't physically lay a hand on him. The Feds believed that Jenssen would be smug enough to let something slip they could use to further prevent any further terrorist activity from occurring in the United States. Just because one terrorist act failed didn't mean there were not others who were working on bigger plans.

Once Fisk had his words with Jenssen, he began to work on Intel for the UN Week. What he didn't expect during this time was that he would once again be called back into work when a mass of headless bodies appears on Rockaway Beach. Could this have anything to do with the recent mass murders that are plaguing the Federal Police Department in Mexico headed up by Commandante Cecilia Garza, also known as the Ice Queen. Now assigned as the Personal Security detail for the Mexican President, she begins to work with Detective Fisk to uncover a bigger terrorist plot that will place both of their presidents at risk of execution, if only they can unravel it in time.

In the latest novel from Dick Wolf, the New York Times best selling author of the Intercept brings you the sequel The Execution. This one will leave you virtually hanging on every page as the threat draws closer and the body count begins to add up. The real back story is the past that both Fisk and Garza carry that refuses to let them see justice prevail despite the fact that the bad guy simply gets locked up. When things get personal, it seems that revenge in the purest sense begins to rear its head and shows that justice truly is blind in the eyes of the law and for the criminals. I love the way this one ended in a so called double standard but could see that as something I would be tempted to do as well. I'll have to let you see how it truly plays out in the end. If you love shows like Law and Order, then you will definitely want to pick this one up.

I received The Execution by Dick Wolf compliments of William Morrow, a division of Harper Collins Publishers for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are strictly my own. Being a huge fan of crime novels, I easily give this one a 4.5 out of 5 stars more for the ending than anything else without giving away the ending. I can't wait for more Jeremy Fisk novels from Dick Wolf in the future.
