Synopsis

The seventeenth book in the bestselling Butch Karp series opens in Brooklyn, with the brutal rape of a female jogger whose assailants are convicted and later exonerated. Now, the guilty are filing a multi million-dollar lawsuit against the city of New York, the police, and the two assistant DAs who tried the case. While the police and the criminal justice system are under media assault, Karp has suspicions that there is corruption within his own office. Karp and Marlene are on a mission to restore the system’s lost dignity, bring the rapists to justice, and destroy the terrorist cell that threatens the city. All the while, terrorists are planning to blow the roof off Times Square on New Year's Eve. As Karp looks more deeply into how the system appears to be undermined, he unearths a tangled web involving corruption, courtroom confrontations and conscience. Fans of Butch Karp, as well as the classic New York crime drama, will find plenty to sink their teeth into with Fury.

Goodreads review by Tgordon

This was not one of my favorite in this series but I still love this family and the crazy that just falls around them! This book sorta is about 911 and the Central Park jogger case. That’s what I love most about this series it brings real life into the fictional world.......more

Goodreads review by Linda

There were several storylines running simultaneously. I would have rated this book higher if the “terrorist” storyline had been left out; it wasn’t needed and was an unwanted distraction. The remainder of the book was excellent.......more

Hang on for a fast paced exciting ride! This is one of the best books I have read in this series. It has everything you expect from Marlene Ciampi and Butch Karp. Murder, conspiracy, crooked attorneys and even terrorists. Oh, love and families. Excellent!......more

A little hokey but still a good read I always enjoy the Butch & Marlene novels. This one was a little hokey. Conflicts resolved with solutions that were a bit unbelievable. Just too pat. I'll continue to read the series though. Good outweighing the not so.......more
