Bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum pens his most suspenseful novel yet -- sending Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi on an investigation filled with twists and turns, gripping courtroom action, and a terrifying murder plot.
Taking on a shadowy terrorist cartel, New York DA Butch Karp struggles to uncover those responsible for planning the murders of innocent schoolchildren. Meanwhile, he must also travel to Idaho to help his college roommate's younger brother, who has been unfairly suspended as a college baseball coach. Joining her husband in Idaho, Marlene Ciampi soon befriends a Basque sheepherder who is searching for his daughter, whose disappearance may be related to Karp's case. And if that wasn't enough, the couple's daughter, Lucy, is furiously working to unmask an assassination attempt planned to occur in the heart of Manhattan -- a traitor's plot to further empower an evil criminal empire.
Review
"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
Review
"Malice is what we have come to expect from Robert K. Tanenbaum, the master of the legal thriller. It's another riveting crime story leading up to a terrific courtroom drama, the kind TV should have, but rarely if ever does." -- Vincent Bugliosi, former Los Angeles district attorney and author of Helter Skelter and the acclaimed And the Sea Will Tell
Review
"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
