MALICE: A NOVEL
by
Robert K.
Tanenbaum
The Karp family is back at it in
Malice, bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum's most suspenseful book yet in
the Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi series.
New York District Attorney Butch Karp,
recovering from an assassination attempt
that came within a few millimeters of
killing him, takes on a shadowy cartel
that uses terrorists to further its
criminal empire while sliding the United
States toward a fascist state that the
cartel controls. As Karp struggles to
uncover those responsible for planning
the terrorist murders of six school-
children, he goes to the aid of the
younger brother of his college roommate,
who has been unfairly suspended from his
position as baseball coach at a
university in Idaho.
Meanwhile, Marlene Ciampi is in Idaho to
help her husband with the investigation,
and she befriends a Basque sheepherder
who is demanding answers to the
disappearance of his daughter -- a
pretty college coed he suspects is
having an affair with the school's
president -- which may be related to
Karp's case. And if that wasn't enough,
the couple's daughter, Lucy, and her
eclectic group of accomplices must
uncover a traitor's plot and stop an
assassination attempt surreptitiously
planned to occur in the heart of
Manhattan.
Malice is filled with twists and story
lines torn from today's headlines, and
once again delivers Tanenbaum's
one-of-a-kind courtroom scenes that, by
the exciting climax, have been woven
into a single, brilliant tapestry of
action and suspense.
Reviews:
“The best legal thrillers have an
authentic voice, heartstopping action,
and a pace that doesn't let you quit
till you've turned the last page. Robert
K. Tanenbaum is guilty as charged on all
three counts, and delivered another
great crime novel with MALICE.”
- Linda
Fairstein, bestselling author of
Bad Blood
"In MALICE, a unique cadre of
crime fighters confronts its greatest
battle yet - to protect the streets of
New York City from an international
nightmare. Tanenbaum pens an
extraordinary tale of crime, terror, and
betrayal that illuminates the dark
threats we face today while reminding us
that American justice fortified by brave
men and women, can still protect all we
hold dear."
- Catherine Crier, bestselling
author of A Deadly Game
