Description
From award-winning actor, producer, and director Eriq La Salle comes the final instalment of the Martyr Maker series, where an FBI agent battling a terminal illness, alongside two NYPD detectives, must investigate a series of hate crimes and murders threatening a city on the brink of a race war.
"Eriq La Salle has emerged as a terrific writer with unique gifts." - Don Winslow, #1 international bestselling author
A war is brewing in New York City, and no one can stop it.
With grit, relentless action, and twists you'll never see coming, Laws of Annihilation is the third instalment in the highly-acclaimed Martyr Maker series by Eriq La Salle.
It's another blistering summer in New York City, and a sweltering heat wave stifles the area. Hostility between the Hasidic and Black communities has been steadily increasing since a tragic incident left a Black teenager dead. When two rabbis are killed in a gruesome attack on their synagogue, it has all the signs of retaliation. The entire city is on edge.
Through it all, Agent Janet Maclin's dreams of becoming the FBI's first female director come crashing down when she receives some devastating news. In spite of it all, she's determined to help NYPD detectives Quincy Cavanaugh and Phee Freeman find the rabbis' killer as more hate crimes put the city on the brink of all-out war. As the body count climbs with the temperature and the tensions, time is running out for Maclin in more ways than one.
Apart from his critically-acclaimed thriller titles, La Salle is a masterful mystery/crime storyteller. He may be best known for his acting roles in productions such as ER, Coming to America, and Logan, but his background in crime fiction was finely honed as he directed and executive produced countless episodes of popular shows such as Law & Order, Law and Order SVU, Law & Order - Organized Crime, CSI - NY, and Chicago PD with Dick Wolf.
Praise for Eriq La Salle's Martyr Maker Series

"Laws of Depravity is a gritty crime thriller, spiritual quest, and love story all woven into one compelling tale." - Publishers Weekly
"Fast paced...Characters are richly textured and none is without faults." - Kirkus Reviews, for Laws of Wrath
