Synopsis

Awaiting trial in the Tombs is Sharif Jabbar, the demagogic founder of a Harlem mosque. Charges against his terrorist attack on the city were dismissed once, and New York District Attorney Roger "Butch" Karp is determined to bring him down on new allegations. Outside the criminal courts, Karp's wife, Marlene Ciampi, is pursuing her own investigation - one in which her sole ally is David Grale, the charismatic but deranged leader of the Mole People.

From AudioFile:

When listening to the twenty-second Roger "Butch" Karp novel, the listener might feel a bit betrayed. In a departure from its predecessors it's repetitious and wordy, not something to listen to in the evening. Still, reader Mel Foster gives the narration his best. His voice is strong, and he's capable of distinguishing multiple characters. He's especially effective when he portrays a suspect with Tourette's syndrome. In the mix are a terrorist, a hired assassin, and a murderous judge. And of course, Karp's wife, Marlene Chiampi, a semi-retired attorney, gets involved. It appears that with this latest, Tanenbaum has altered his bestselling series but not in a positive way. Most fans are likely to be disappointed. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
