Snowstorm in August couples the charm of an unflinching true-crime narrative with an ambitious new vision of America’s war on drugs unlike anything you’ve read or watched before.
NYPD captain Danny Corcoran seeks to live a life full of danger and adrenaline after the untimely death of his wife. With a burning desire and motivation to protect his city from all sorts of threats, a syndicate of billionaires recruit him under the secret charter of taking the fight to America’s enemies when a vicious drug lord blankets the vibrant city of New York with bags of cocaine to suffocate and kill hundreds of people. Danny must put his tenacity and his skills to the mettle as he recruits and leads his team of cops and informants up against crime kingpins before more innocent lives are claimed.
Keeping a slick and smart approach to revamping the battle between law enforcements and the cartel, Marshall Karp grounds you in place with a smartly twisting and realistic turn of events. Terrifically fleshed-out characters with relatable dilemmas and personalities encourage you to feel the terrifying and heart-pounding situations with passion and vigor as the narrative takes you on a roller-coaster ride of gut-wrenching losses and roaring victories.
Snowstorm in August emphasizes a character-driven storyline with a distinctive non-fiction writing style, sporting a first person POV account with keen knowledge of the bigger picture. The action is crisp but with potential for improvement in terms of pacing and exploring the combat in a more detailed manner. I simply can’t wait to read more stories with the extraordinary characters Karp has debuted in this extremely enthralling and suspenseful smash-hit!
