To Butch Karp--a chief assistant district attorney with a
formidable reputation as a brilliant and fearless prosecutor--the
brutal assassination of Bollano family capo Ed Catalano appears to
be a continuation of old-style wars between Mob families. But
Willie Lie, leader of a Chinese gang called the White Dragons,
insists that he and his cohorts were involved. The case is further
complicated by an unscrupulous and ambitious U.S. attorney looking
to use the Mob murder to advance his political career. And when
Karp's twelve-year-old daughter witnesses a Chinatown gang slaying,
she suddenly becomes a target herself.
But his child isn't the only loved one threatened. Karp's wife,
Marlene--a private security consultant specializing in protecting
stalked and abused women--is delving perilously into the
decades-old death of a notorious Mob lawyer. And as their two
investigations intertwine, Karp and Marlene must race to find
answers before two of New York's most dangerous criminal
organizations turn an unsuspecting city into a bloody
battleground.

Tanenbaum's last novel, Fury, ended with a breathtaking
cliff-hanger. Now readers can enjoy the exciting conclusion --
bursting with more suspenseful twists -- in his latest,
Counterplay. When betrayal results in the cold-blooded murder of a
busload of school children to accomplish the escape from custody of
vicious sociopath Andrew Kane, New York District Attorney Butch
Karp finds himself embroiled in a raging quest for vengeance that
could cost him, his family, and thousands of others their lives.
Yet again, Robert K. Tanenbaum writes a masterful thriller
involving the most memorable -- and un-put-downable -- stories of
corruption and courtroom confrontations. Counterplay, the latest
book in the bestselling Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi series, proves to
be another full-bodied, riveting page-turner with yet another
cliff-hanger not soon to be forgotten.
As the city sizzles under the early summer sun, New York chief
assistant D.A. Butch Karp and his family are happily vacationing on
Long Island's north shore. Their reverie changes to horror when
they learn that their beachfront neighbors, Rose and Ralph "Red"
Heeney -- a coal miners' union leader -- have been brutally
murdered back home in tiny McCullensburg, West Virginia.
Irresistible force meets immovable object when the governor
appoints Karp special prosecutor to bring justice to the corrupt
rural town, its ruthless union boss, and his band of violent
henchmen. Now, Karp finds himself not only searching for the
killers, but fighting to protect his own family from an evil that
runs as deep as the mines that fuel it.
Continuing the suspense in New York Times bestselling author Robert
K. Tanenbaum's previous legal thriller, Fury, readers will discover
more shocking twists and exciting action in the Butch Karp/Marlene
Ciampi series in Counterplay. When the prison escape of a former
mayoral candidate turned sociopath, Andrew Kane, leads to the
murder of a busload of schoolchildren, Butch Karp, New York
District Attorney, takes the case knowing Kane's allyship with a
terrorist group will put himself, his family, and thousands of
others at risk. As the manhunt for Kane continues to rage on, Karp
refuses to quit seeking justice, tapping long-time colleague Ray
Guma for help as they open a cold case to charge a wealthy
Manhattan businessman, Emil Starvos, with murder based on the
disappearance of his socialite wife fifteen years ago. While Karp
searches for the fugitive and pursues the murder, his wife, Marlene
Ciampi, gets pulled into danger as she is threatened by Islamic
terrorists, Chechen rebels, and Russian agents engaged in nefarious
events straight out of today's headlines. Another thrilling
page-turner by Robert K. Tanenbaum, Counterplay gives readers
plenty of corruption, confrontation, and courtroom drama in the
bestselling Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi series.
