From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marshall Karp comes the next installment in the endlessly thrilling NYPD Red series.
It's 11:59.
And the city that never sleeps is afraid to get out of bed.
A bomb explodes in a crowded New York subway station at exactly 11:59 a.m. The next day, a second blast rips through a busy department store--again at 11:59.
As the bombs go off with clockwork precision, the death toll climbs and businesses shut their doors as the city hunkers down in fear.
NYPD Red Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan face their most twisted case ever, as they race against the clock in search of one man who has vowed "to destroy New York City the way it destroyed my family."
The series
In a city where fame is currency and secrets can kill, there's a task force designed to protect the elite—and investigate their darkest crimes.
Read full series description
Set against the electric pulse of New York City, the NYPD Red series pulls back the velvet curtain on power, privilege, and the chaos that simmers beneath the surface. The stories follow a specialized unit of the NYPD charged with handling high-profile cases—those involving celebrities, politicians, and billionaires who expect their messes cleaned up quietly and fast. But crime doesn’t care about status, and some scandals refuse to stay buried.
At the heart of it all are Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald—partners with complicated history, navigating not just high-stakes investigations but the friction of past love, personal loyalties, and a job that demands everything. Their cases move fast, unraveling through red-carpet disasters, backroom betrayals, and city-wide manhunts. The tone crackles with urgency, but never loses sight of the human toll behind each crime scene.
What sets this series apart isn’t just the thrill of the chase or the glitz of its victims—it’s the razor-sharp writing that balances wit with grit, and characters who feel as real as the headlines they’re chasing. Suspense builds with cinematic precision, but it’s the emotional undercurrent—how justice bends under pressure, how people break and heal—that keeps readers coming back.
For fans of procedural crime fiction with a pulse, the NYPD Red series is an invitation into a world where danger wears designer labels—and the truth is always more expensive than it looks.
