From a New York Times–bestselling master with over one million copies in print: Prosecutor Butch Karp hunts a psychopath targeting the innocent. He is the Bogeyman: a remorseless monster stalking the streets of New York in search of fresh victims—his chosen prey being children. The killings are ghastly enough to shock lawyer Butch Karp, who thought he’d already seen the absolute worst of humanity in his work. So when a child abuse case and a homicide case seem to be connected, Karp and his colleague Marlene Ciampi find themselves delving into the darkest corners of New York’s underworld. Their chosen prey? A cold-blooded predator whose twisted work has only just begun—and whose true motives will force Karp to decide how far he is truly willing to go to stop the horror. Known to his fans as “one hell of a writer,” (New York Post) Robert K. Tanenbaum lends truthful, gritty authenticity to his legal thrillers as one of the most successful prosecuting attorneys in America, having convicted hundreds of violent criminals. This is one of the most intense and haunting of the popular series that includes Infamy, Tragic, and No Lesser Plea. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert K. Tanenbaum including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Justice Denied

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Manhattan’s homicide bureau chief investigates a murder at the UN in the New York Times–bestselling author’s “most powerful thriller yet” (Vincent Bugliosi). While on his way to the UN, a Turkish diplomat is gunned down in the street. All signs point to an ancient blood feud, and the NYPD quickly tracks down their lead suspect: an Armenian nationalist they believe was out to avenge the Armenian genocide. He fits their suspect profile perfectly—so perfectly, in fact, that Chief Butch Karp is beginning to doubt the story. With the help of his crime-fighting wife Marlene Ciampi, Karp digs into the diplomat’s death, uncovering a deadly web of corruption far more sinister than even he could have imagined. Written by legendary prosecutor and New York Times–bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum, Justice Denied exposes the kind of dirty dealing that goes on in the shadow of the UN. Justice Denied is the 6th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “Tanenbaum’s experience as a New York City assistant district attorney serves him well in this gritty tale of intrigue.” —Chicago Tribune “Scrupulously realistic.” —Joseph Wambaugh, author of The Onion Field “A highly satisfying tale.” —Library Journal

Corruption of Blood

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

A prosecutor goes after the truth about JFK’s assassination in a New York Times–bestselling author’s “most enthralling legal thriller to date” (Vincent Bugliosi). In a forgotten corner of the Georgetown library, New York prosecutor Butch Karp is about to commit a felony. He cracks the seal on a government file, in which he finds papers, a ledger, a reel of film, and a small jar that holds a chunk of human flesh. Just by looking at this material, he has broken the law. It’s the evidence he needs to prove the true identity of the man who killed Kennedy, and now that he has it, Karp is the most dangerous man in America. Brought to Washington to assist in the Congressional investigation into Kennedy’s death, Karp was expected to toe the line. As his personal inquiries lead him into a web that stretches from the capos of the mafia to the halls of the Kremlin, this hard-driving attorney realizes the conspiracy that killed Kennedy is still alive—and out for blood. As deputy chief counsel to the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations, Robert K. Tanenbaum has an insider’s understanding of one of the darkest days in American history. Corruption of Blood is a novel inspired by real events by an author who “knows his criminal procedure cold” (Publishers Weekly). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert K. Tanenbaum including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Reckless Endangerment

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

In this legal thriller with “bedrock authenticity” by a New York Times–bestselling author, a Manhattan prosecutor risks his life to catch a serial killer (Kirkus Reviews). A veteran assistant district attorney, Butch Karp knows that sometimes a prosecutor has to make a deal. The Manhattan courts are backed up worse than Midtown at rush hour, and that means plea bargains. Burglary gets knocked down to trespass, attempted homicide down to simple assault, but Karp has one ironclad rule: In his office, nobody gets away with murder. That rule is about to get put to the test. All over Manhattan, the city’s drug kingpins are getting shot in the head and dumped in the streets. Is it a turf war, or has someone in the NYPD turned vigilante? When a cop asks Karp to help kill the investigation, Karp is forced to make an impossible choice between his principles and the city he loves. Based on the personal experience of legendary prosecutor Robert K. Tanenbaum, Reversible Error takes readers on a tour of the grittiest corners of 1970’s New York. “You can smell the Big Apple starting to rot,” writes Kirkus Reviews “as Tanenbaum bores into its mealy core for another uncommonly intelligent legal/cop entertainment.” Reversible Error is the 4th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “Reversible Error blends dirty politics, women’s rights, sadism, murder, and betrayal with skill and style.” —Orlando Sentinel “Sizzles and explodes. . . . A gut-wrencher that takes Tanenbaum to the summit.” —Booklist “Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi are the most interesting pair of characters in the suspense genre today.” —Chicago Tribune

Falsely Accused

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

In this “electrifying page-turner” from the New York Times–bestselling author, a former NYC assistant DA goes up against the mayor—and a web of corruption (Kirkus Reviews). New York’s chief medical examiner, Murray Selig is one of the best in the country. So it’s quite a shock when the mayor fires him without cause. Humiliated, Selig wants more than justice. He wants revenge—so he calls Butch Karp. Once the city’s leading prosecutor, Karp left the District Attorney’s office to go into private practice, but he still knows his way around the halls of power. Selig’s case gives him a chance to stick it to his old boss, but as he digs into the truth of the medical examiner’s firing, he finds the heart of the city is more rotten than he ever realized. Meanwhile, Karp’s wife Marlene has opened a detective agency dedicated to protecting women. Her latest case leads her to a Lower East Side women’s shelter . . . and a shocking connection to Karp’s case. Based on the author’s own experience as a New York prosecutor, Falsely Accused is a sizzling expose of the true nature of power by the New York Times–bestselling author of Infamy and Material Witness. Falsely Accused is the 8th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “Plenty of suspense . . . Tanenbaum is in top form.” —Chicago Tribune “Taut and authentic . . . Readers will be enthralled.” —Los Angeles Daily Journal “Ex-New York DA Tanenbaum’s gritty thrillers take full advantage of his own experience in the judicial system. . . . Tanenbaum knows his criminal procedure cold.” —Publishers Weekly

Echoes of My Soul

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

From the New York Times–bestselling author, a thrilling true crime story of grisly murder, police corruption, and an attorney’s work to save an innocent man. In 1963, Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie were just two young women living on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Then one muggy day in August, an intruder made his way into their apartment where he raped and murdered them. Months passed before the police had a suspect in custody. His name was George Whitmore Jr., a nineteen-year-old Black man with an IQ of less than 70. After giving a confession, Whitmore was convicted and incarcerated, but Asst. DA Mel Glass was not so certain of the young man’s guilt . . . In Echoes of My Soul, bestselling author and renowned prosecutor Robert K. Tanenbaum delves into the historic case of the “Career Girls Murders.” He examines the brutal crime and the troubling investigation, full of law enforcement missteps and cover-ups. The author also details the story of an ADA who placed his career on the line to free an innocent man whose story would ultimately go on to influence the American justice system. “A strong candidate to become a true crime classic. . . . Brilliantly written and unfailingly riveting.” —Vincent Bugliosi, author and prosecutor of the Manson Family Tate–LaBianca murders “Echoes of My Soul has the excitement of a great work of fiction and it is not ‘based’ upon a real case. It is a real case and it is about a real hero.” —Mark Lane, attorney and civil rights activist “A compelling, page turning, disturbing true story.” —Jesse Choper, Earl Warren Professor of Public Law, Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

Enemy Within

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum ratchets up the suspense with an authentic and morally complex mystery set deep inside the New York City police department. When a black man is shot multiple times in the back on the streets of New York by an NYPD golden boy, chaos erupts throughout the city. And in an election year -- a year of secret handshakes and politically motivated favors -- no one feels the pressure more than the men and women who vow to protect and to serve. For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, bullet holes aren't the only holes in this volatile case, nor in a second shocking puzzle... A slow-witted young man faces the death penalty for murdering a Jewish diamond merchant. Karp is quickly learning that politics mean a lot more than justice when it becomes apparent certain higher-ups would rather whitewash the truth than lose the Jewish vote. Add a serial killer who is murdering the homeless to Karp's daily grind, and it's clear he is surrounded by high-profile time bombs that are promising to blow the city to its core. To make matters worse, Karp's wife, Marlene Ciampi, has become independently wealthy thanks to the Internet stock boom and has decided to enjoy her newly acquired fortune through manic shopping sprees and free-flowing alcohol. Plus, his daughter, Lucy, is skipping school to feed the homeless not far from where the slasher stalks his prey. Desperate to stop the violence before it touches his family, Karp must wade through a system of corruption and conspiracy that threatens to silence his pursuit of the truth...forever.

Depraved Indifference

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

A prosecutor defies the FBI, CIA, and Mafia to bring terrorists to justice in this thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Justice Denied. After hijacking a flight to Milwaukee, a group of Croatian terrorists inform the FBI of bombs they’ve planted across the country. If their demands are not met, the bombs will explode. The plan goes perfectly until one of the weapons goes off in the Bronx, killing a police officer—in assistant district attorney Butch Karp’s jurisdiction. Prosecuting a few terrorist cop killers should be a slam-dunk, but Karp and his assistant, Marlene Ciampi, are getting resistance from unexpected quarters—including the NYPD itself. The Archdiocese of New York hires a top lawyer to defend the accused. And when the FBI, CIA, and Miami Mafia team up to undermine the case, it’s clear these Croatians are no ordinary terrorists. As Karp and Ciampi uncover powerful ties, and secrets that reach from anticommunist Cuba to Nazi war crimes, they realize their fight for justice has become a fight for their lives. From the New York Times–bestselling author and former Manhattan assistant district attorney, Depraved Indifference is an insider’s “damning indictment of our court system and an entertaining exposé of the DA's office” (Publishers Weekly). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert K. Tanenbaum including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Material Witness

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

In this “wild, exhilarating ride” from the New York Times–bestselling author, a prosecutor goes undercover—on the court—after a basketball player’s murder (Chicago Tribune). Marion Simmons is big. He’s tough. And he takes a long time to die. Simmons survives the long ride through Queens, clinging to life until the car stops in an abandoned lot, and a hit man puts two bullets in his head. When the police arrive, they recognize the dead man instantly. Simmons is the most famous basketball player in New York City, and his murder—along with the fortune of cocaine found in the car—will turn the sport upside down. When he was in college, Butch Karp dreamed of playing professional basketball. Instead, he became the toughest prosecutor in the District Attorney’s office. To get to the truth of Simmons’ murder, Karp goes undercover as a player—putting his life on the line to cleanse the sport of drug dealing, point shaving, and murder for hire. From the former Manhattan assistant DA and bestselling author of Justice Denied, Material Witness is a standout legal thriller in the long-running Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series. Material Witness is the 5th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “A winner . . . a master of the crime grime of Manhattan . . . for those who have stalked the criminal courts there’s tremendous authenticity.” —F.

True Justice

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum has more than seven million copies of his finely crafted and morally complex novels in print. In True Justice, he reaches new heights with a compellingly authentic and penetrating story pulled right form today's most controversial headlines. For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins when a shocking act of negligence results in homicide. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and Karp's boss, D.A. Jack Keegan, is listening. He has ordered the prosecution of a fifteen-year-old for murder, intent on making a very public example of the girl. A Hispanic from a poor neighborhood, she's an easy mark for big-city bureaucracy and bigotry. It is Butch Karp's unpleasant job to see that the prosecution gives the public what it wants: a quick and thorough administration of hard-line justice. Complicating matters further is Butch's wife, Marlene Ciampi, a private investigator who has decided to return to practicing law. Her first case takes her a few hundred miles south to a small Delaware town, where an equally unspeakable tragedy has taken place. Marlene, however, has the unenviable task of taking on a politically ambitious local prosecutor who is pressing to charge a suburban teenager with capital murder. With Butch and Marlene squaring off on opposite sides of an increasingly incendiary national debate, things couldn't get any more tense...until a shocking turn of events puts their daughter, Lucy, at the center of a horrifying crime. Suddenly, everything they believe in is challenged, and they are drawn into a maelstrom of big-city politics and small-town values, where justice is sacrificed to the twin gods of public perception and expediency -- and Karp must struggle to salvage his self-respect, his career, and his life.

Coal Country Killing

A Culture, A Union, and the Murders That Changed It All

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum,Steve Jackson

A triumphant, uplifting true justice story led by jury trial expert, Richard A. Sprague—the indomitable, nationally renowned prosecutor who engaged in the most intense manhunt investigation in police history. Coal Country Killing: A Culture, A Union, And The Murders That Changed It All, revolves around the cold-blooded 1969 assassination of United Mineworkers of America “reform candidate” Jock Yablonski, and murder of his wife and daughter in their Pennsylvania farmhouse. But driving the story are the extraordinary efforts of a tenacious special prosecutor and his “army” of investigators to bring the gunmen, the union boss who ordered the murders, and his henchmen who saw them carried out, to justice. Initially, three bumbling small-time criminals, dubbed “The Hillbilly Hitmen,” were arrested and charged. But they were the tip of the iceberg as the murders were directed by then-UMWA President “Tough Tony” Boyle as revenge for Yablonski running against him in the bitterly contested 1968 union election and to prevent his corruption from being exposed. Up against the tight-lipped culture of Appalachia coal country, legendary Philadelphia homicide prosecutor Richard A. Sprague, and his investigators, spent nearly nine years doggedly working their way up the ladder of those responsible to the final showdown with Boyle. Written by New York Times bestselling authors—former New York County Assistant District Attorney Robert K. Tanenbaum, a lifelong friend of Sprague’s, and Steve Jackson—Coal Country Killing is a tour de force for those who love justice.

The Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi Novels Volume Three

Corruption of Blood, Falsely Accused, Irresistible Impulse, and Reckless Endangerment

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Four razor-sharp thrillers in the long-running series from a New York Times–bestselling author—and “one hell of a writer” (New York Post). Proclaimed the “Joseph Wambaugh of the judicial system” by the San Diego Tribune, trial lawyer Robert K. Tanenbaum crafts his legal thrillers with authenticity and breath-taking suspense. In these four entries in the series, Manhattan assistant district attorney Roger “Butch” Karp and Marlene Ciampi fight the good fight against crime and an often-corrupt judicial system with energy, wit, and a passion for the truth (New York Post). Corruption of Blood: Butch has just found evidence that could prove who really killed JFK, and he’s about to find out that the conspiracy behind the assassination is still alive—and still deadly . . . “[His] most enthralling legal thriller to date.” —Vincent Bugliosi Falsely Accused: When New York’s chief medical examiner is wrongly fired, he goes to Karp for justice—only for Butch to discover corruption far deadlier than he’s ever seen . . . “[An] “electrifying page-turner.” —Kirkus Reviews Irresistible Impulse: A racially charged murder pits Butch against a flashy defense lawyer in a case so divisive it could drive the city to tear itself apart . . . “The suspense here is Hitchcockian.” —Publishers Weekly Reckless Endangerment: Drug kingpins are being murdered all over Manhattan, and Butch must help the police find a vigilante who has more in mind than justice . . . “A three-ring circus of mayhem and mystery.” —Publishers Weekly

Counterplay

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

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 schoolchildren 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. With an intensive manhunt ongoing for the fugitive Kane, Karp and long-time colleague Ray Guma open a cold case and pursue murder charges against wealthy Manhattan power broker/banker Emil Stavros, whose socialite wife disappeared nearly fifteen years earlier. Meanwhile, Karp's wife, Marlene Ciampi, has let her fascination with her husband's lesser-known family comprised of Russian gangsters pull her into a dangerous world of Islamic terrorists, Chechen rebels, and Russian agents engaged in nefarious events straight out of today's real-world headlines. 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.

Malice

By: Robert Tanenbaum

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."--BOOK JACKET.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

By: Alan M. Dershowitz,Jerry Falwell,Robert L. Shapiro,Billy Martin,Anthony Pellicano,Kamala D. Harris,Robert H. Bork,David Baldacci

This phrase, heard countless times every day in American courtrooms across the country, sets forth the burden of proof placed upon the prosecution in a criminal trial. Yet this cherished principle is not mentioned in the Constitution, nor is it defined by any laws. What, then, does “beyond a reasonable doubt” really mean, and how should it be interpreted and applied? In Beyond a Reasonable Doubt more than 80 distinguished contributors reflect on what this standard really means and how it is applied. Brilliantly dissecting its meaning from every angle, attorneys, judges, novelists, journalists, religious leaders and convicted felons shine a light on the most compelling standard in our legal system.

Irresistible Impulse

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

A racially charged murder pits the NY assistant DA against a flashy defense lawyer in an “irresistible” legal thriller by the bestselling author of Infamy (Publishers Weekly). It’s the early ’80s, and New York City is eating itself alive. The murder rate is skyrocketing, and Butch Karp, the battle-tested assistant district attorney in charge of the NYPD’s homicide bureau, is the only thing standing between the city and chaos. And he’s about to get pushed to the breaking point. As the bureau chief, Karp is not supposed to try cases himself, but he’s about to make an exception. A wealthy suburbanite is accused of a series of murders in Harlem, and the case’s racial implications threaten to set the city ablaze. Promising to get a conviction, Karp puts his reputation and his career on the line. His opponent is the country’s most famous defense attorney, a notorious showman determined to use every trick in the book to get his client free, and destroy Butch Karp in the process. Before he became the New York Times–bestselling author of such legal thrillers as No Lesser Plea and Falsely Accused, Robert K. Tanenbaum was one of the most successful trial attorneys in New York City. Irresistible Impulse displays the grit, brains and brio that made him so successful. Irresistible Impulse is the 9th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “Tannenbaum’s snappy, electric ninth novel to feature the latter-day Hepburn and Tracy . . . the suspense here is Hitchcockian.” —Publishers Weekly “Gripping.” —Kirkus Reviews

Fatal Conceit

A Novel

By: Robert Tanenbaum

A CIA chief dies under suspicious circumstances before he can testify about a controversial government cover-up involving a terrorist attack on the US mission in Chechnya. Butch Karp is on the case in this exciting installment to Robert K. Tanenbaum’s bestselling series. When the CIA director is murdered, Butch Karp finds himself battling a heavyweight opponent: the US government. The national presidential election campaign’s foreign policy mantra has been that the terrorists are on the run and Bin Laden is dead. There are rumors that the CIA chief was going to deviate from the administration version of events, and that the government may have had something to do with his death. Can Karp expose the cover-up and find the Chechnyan separatists who aided the Americans at the mission and who have firsthand knowledge of the terrorist attack? Karp must also find his missing daughter, who has been taken hostage by the terrorists. After the New York grand jury indicts the national presidential campaign chairman and the NSA spymaster for the murder of the CIA chief, Karp engages in an unforgettable courtroom confrontation with the defendants who have the full weight of the US administration, a hostile judge, and a compliant media supporting them. These sinister forces will stop at nothing to prevent Karp from bringing out the truth, even if they have to resort to murder.
