Synopsis

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 schoolchildren, 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.

It did help pass the time, and I did start to get into it toward the end, but I would be reluctant to recommend it. The characters a one dimensional and almost c......more

Goodreads review by Pamela Seaton on September 03, 2017

Soooo Disappointing I am a fan of the Butch/ Marlene series. But this one was very disappointing. Way too much historical narration and too many unrealistic plot lines. I found myself skipping many pages at a time. BTW, who was watching the twins when Marlene & Butch were in Idaho?? Maybe it was expl......more

Goodreads review by Gail on February 02, 2024

This 2007 book was a real page turner. I only realized later that this is part of a series, so some of the people and situations were described in earlier books and I had no background. Tanenbaum really knows how to weave a good story: many story lines, many characters, great courtroom drama, and se......more

Very interesting and educational as well. I love these books! I'm re-reading them and totally enjoying the experience. The Karp family is a fascinating group.
