Synopsis

When a promising actress from Spanish Harlem dies from a gunshot wound in a fashionable Tribeca hotel penthouse apartment of an eccentrically famous Broadway producer, it is up to New York DA Roger "Butch" Karp and his hard-charging, crime-fighting wife, Marlene Ciampi, to champion the murdered actress' cause. Karp, outraged by defense tactics to destroy the young woman's reputation—and then left with little choice after the mysterious death of the assistant DA originally assigned to the case—decides to personally prosecute the case and expose the "big lie" defense. With Marlene's assistance in locating and persuading a fearful witness to come forward, Karp is determined that money, threats, notoriety, and a high-powered defense attorney and his legion of experts will not prevail over justice.

So always a joy and mostly makes me sad to end! I can’t wait until I’ve read them all or maybe I can because I’ll be wanting more! Following my favorite of the series I was not disappointed! The carp family again is involved in too much torment and blood shed. The Islam faith and Muslim extreme is a......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on April 29, 2019

I enjoy this series and find it highly entertaining. This is one of the better books, full of action, lots of villains, but especially interesting courtroom scenes where Butch is prosecuting a popular Broadway producer for the murder of a rising starlet. Meanwhile, he, his colleagues, and his family......more

Goodreads review by Vannessa on May 08, 2017

I always look forward to reading Tanenbaum because he incorporates current events in his stories and that gives his stories a feeling of realism. In Capture author Tanenbaum describes how easy it is to throw the World’s economy in chaos, the manipulators, and the reason the manipulators want to do i......more

Goodreads review by Marti on April 23, 2010

Usually I don't like to buy hardcover books at a sale, but when it is one of my favorite authors, that is different. It's always good to spend time with Buth Karp, now District Attorney of NYC, wife Marlene, daughter Lucy, now engaged to her cowboy, and the twins, Zak and Giancarlo. The usual other......more

Goodreads review by Sherree on September 28, 2009

I liked this one better than the last few. The last few have dealt too much with general terrorism. I prefer the terrorism of the Karp family. Hopefully, the whole Sons of Man plot to take over the world won't be a part of future books. I thought the Maplethorpe trial was the most interesting part o......more
