“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 installment 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.
