The coke was dropped from a helicopter on the orders of drug lord Joaqu n Alboroto, "one of the most loved, most hated, most feared men on the planet." A flashback explains why Alboroto has declared a vendetta against New York City. They're horrified when the falling white powder turns out to be thousands of pounds of cocaine, which kills hundreds. New Yorkers are stunned by what appears to be a massive summertime snowfall limited to Central Park. This adrenaline-fueled thriller from bestseller Karp (the Lomax and Biggs mysteries) opens with a terror attack.
