Description

From Marshall Karp, the co-creator and co-author with James Patterson of the #1 bestselling NYPD RED series

Imagine Central Park buried under tons of snow. Only it’s not snow. It’s cocaine.

It came down in powdery funnels. Four thousand pounds of it. Uncut.

Blanketing meadows and treetops. Knocking birds from the sky, dropping carriage horses to the pavement, and cutting a swath of death through the thousands of unsuspecting joggers, cyclists, and picnickers enjoying a summer afternoon in Central Park.

So begins the war between Joaquín Alboroto, the most powerful drug lord on the planet, and his most hated enemy: the city of New York. But the only NYPD unit trained to go up against this level of terrorism has been disbanded, and the new police commissioner is a bureaucrat, not a wartime commander.

The task falls on the shoulders of former NYPD captain Danny Corcoran. A trusted friend recruits Corcoran to a team of top cops—all retired. Funded by four anonymous billionaires, their mission is to stop Alboroto before his next “gift” to the city leaves a million New Yorkers blind.

Featured Reviews

Snowstorm in August couples the charm of an unflinching true-crime narrative with an ambitious new vision of America’s war on drugs unlike anything you’ve read or watched before.
NYPD captain Danny Corcoran seeks to live a life full of danger and adrenaline after the untimely death of his wife. With a burning desire and motivation to protect his city from all sorts of threats, a syndicate of billionaires recruit him under the secret charter of taking the fight to America’s enemies when a vicious drug lord blankets the vibrant city of New York with bags of cocaine to suffocate and kill hundreds of people. Danny must put his tenacity and his skills to the mettle as he recruits and leads his team of cops and informants up against crime kingpins before more innocent lives are claimed.
Keeping a slick and smart approach to revamping the battle between law enforcements and the cartel, Marshall Karp grounds you in place with a smartly twisting and realistic turn of events. Terrifically fleshed-out characters with relatable dilemmas and personalities encourage you to feel the terrifying and heart-pounding situations with passion and vigor as the narrative takes you on a roller-coaster ride of gut-wrenching losses and roaring victories.
Snowstorm in August emphasizes a character-driven storyline with a distinctive non-fiction writing style, sporting a first person POV account with keen knowledge of the bigger picture. The action is crisp but with potential for improvement in terms of pacing and exploring the combat in a more detailed manner. I simply can’t wait to read more stories with the extraordinary characters Karp has debuted in this extremely enthralling and suspenseful smash-hit!

While I wish he would return to Lomax and Biggs this is a first class thriller and hopefully the start of a great new series.
