Genre: Thriller
Description:
“A rash of elaborate cat burglaries of luxury buildings in Manhattan
has the city panicked.
When a group of social media obsessed millennials--a loosely organized
crew that call themselves ‘urban explorers’--are suspected in the heists,
undercover NYPD detective Jake Rivett is assigned the case.
Rivett dives deep into the urban exploration scene in pursuit of the
truth. But what, and who, he finds--deep in the sewers, up in the cranes above
under-construction skyscrapers, and everywhere else in New York--will change
not only Jake, but the city itself.”
Author:
Denison is a writer in Los Angeles. His original screenplay, Vanish
Man, is set up at Lionsgate. A graduate of Cornell University, he lives with
his wife and a big dog in a little house in Hollywood. He is presently working
on the third Jake Rivett thriller.

Appraisal:
What a terrific story! I loved the fast pace and slick writing, but mostly
I loved Jake Rivett, a truly unique character who had me at “Hello.” The
novel’s overall premise--corrupt government official colludes with heartless
real estate developer-- was valid, although far from unique, but the way Mr.
Hatch wove in the concept of urban exploring kept me up past my bedtime,
turning pages.
This is the second in a planned series of books featuring the main
character, and Jake Rivett can easily handle a long series. If I didn’t have
such a long TBR list, I’d certainly read the first in the series (Flash Crash).
If you enjoy high-octane thrillers filled with action and populated by
quirky, unique characters, I highly recommend you give the Jake Rivett series a
try.
