The Ultimatum — Dick Wolf

Detective Jeremy Fisk tracks a serial sniper terrorizing New York City in this electrifying next novel in the New York Times bestselling series by Dick Wolf

When Merritt Verlyn releases sensitive documents from the NYPD Intelligence Division to WikiLeaks, some of New York City's criminals gain access to Detective Jeremy Fisk's unlisted home address. Within hours, deadly assailants arrive looking for blood.

Authorities arrest Verlyn, but the damage is done. Forced from his home and his bank accounts drained, Fisk asks Chay Maryland, a beautiful New York Times reporter, if she'll help him get close to the leaker. But Chay refuses to yield her sources.

The investigation is nearly derailed when seemingly random shootings leave innocent people dead on the streets. When the authorities receive a message from someone named "Yodeler," who threatens to sacrifice a citizen every day until Verlyn is released, Fisk and Chay have no choice but to team up and discover what the leaker really knows. Can they find the mastermind before he wreaks havoc on a city paralyzed by fear?
