Publication Information
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 school-
children, 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.
"Series fans will be pleased, but those seeking sophisticated political suspense set in a post-9/11 New York City should look elsewhere." - PW
