Dick Wolf is a fine writer with a great sense of moving a story along with dispatch. Jeremy Fisk is an NYPD detective; this is a stand-alone novel that is the third of three novels in this series (see below). Jeremy's home address is leaked through a WikiLeaks type leaker (Verlyn Merritt). Within hours, Jeremy is accosted in his Sutton Place apartment and his bank accounts are emptied. Jeremy's life is getting turned upside down, but why? Then, someone starts demanding that Merritt be released or he will start killing people randomly. Before long Jeremy suspects that folks are being killed by a drone.
I had two major problems with this book. A technophile will love this book; me, not so much. I thought it was too wordy (the author was showing off how much he knew about drones and other sci-fi technologies). Second, I just don't buy into Armageddon-type thrillers. However, I have to give the author his due; the pages flew past, plus the dialogue and characters were interesting.
