It's politics as usual in New York City when Larry MacIver, world-renowned criminologist, is tapped by NYC Mayor Ruth Newberg to save NYC from a second 9/11 attack. Will it be nuclear? Will it be bio? MacIver and his geeky assistant Manish Das must overcome FBI ineptitude, CIA intrigue and, most of all, the evil and ruthless Iranian terrorist Shalah Muhammud, to save the city. In the underground of this story, so gripping, so frustratingly funny at times, are the crucial questions of counter-terrorism that worry anyone within a couple of hours drive from New York City: Will it be a drone next time? Will New York politics doom the city's defenses? Written before drones were widely in use, the novel seems prescient of much that has happened (should and should not have happened) in the world of counter-terrorism.
