Learn moreThe 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.
Marshall Karp cocreated and coauthored the first six books in the #1 bestselling NYPD Red series with James Patterson. Starting with NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority, Marshall became the sole author of the series, which features Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan as members of an of an elite squad sworn to “protect and serve New York’s rich and famous.” Marshall is also the author of five books in the critically acclaimed Lomax and Biggs mystery series, featuring LAPD Detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs, who work homicide out of the famed Los Angeles Hollywood Division. For over twenty years Marshall has worked closely with the international charity Vitamin Angels, providing tens of millions of mothers and children around the globe with lifesaving vitamins and nutrients.

Reviews
“Talk about your killer snowstorm. Don’t flake out, but Marshall Karp has written one stone-cold mystery!”
“Intense and full of great character development…Marshall Karp is truly a talented author.”
“Marshall Karp is the Woody Allen of the murder mystery. He’s up there with Carl Hiaasen and Donald Westlake and Janet Evanovich—smart, fast-paced, clever, and really, really funny.”
“[An] adrenaline-fueled thriller from bestseller Karp.”
“A compelling plot, with characters you immediately become invested in. Marshall Karp writes with the kind of attention to the details of law enforcement that distinguishes a great book from a good one—a rare find.”
“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…I simply can’t wait to read more stories with the extraordinary characters Karp has debuted in this extremely enthralling and suspenseful smash-hit!”
“Totally original, a sheer roller coaster ride…Shows a master’s touch.”
