About this Item

Robert Tanenbaum, Simon & Schuster Ltd. Prosecutor Butch Karp takes on the deadliest case of his career in Robert Tanenbaum's most complex and suspenseful thriller to date. The focus of ABSOLUTE RAGE is the moral and ethical code that drives our hero, Butch Karp, to provide for and protect his family above all else. His code of honour is devoted unconditional commitment and love. A dynamic, blue collar presidential aspirant and his wife and child are murdered in West Virginia. His two surviving children demand that Karp prosecute the case, not the Feds or anyone else. Karp is reluctant to accept the case because of the political whirlwind that surrounds it, but Karp is assured complete autonomy to search for the truth wherever it may lead. The one thing Karp insists on is keeping his family far away from this explosive case. But just the opposite happens. His wife and children end up in mortal danger from which he must extricate them, while masterminding a complicated ruse to trap the murderers.

About the Author

Robert K. Tanenbaum is the author of thirty-two books—twenty-nine novels and three nonfiction books: Badge of the Assassin, the true account of his investigation and trials of self-proclaimed members of the Black Liberation Army who assassinated two NYPD police officers; The Piano Teacher: The True Story of a Psychotic Killer; and Echoes of My Soul, the true story of a shocking double murder that resulted in the DA exonerating an innocent man while searching for the real killer. The case was cited by Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren in the famous Miranda decision. He is one of the most successful prosecuting attorneys, having never lost a felony trial and convicting hundreds of violent criminals. He was a special prosecution consultant on the Hillside strangler case in Los Angeles and defended Amy Grossberg in her sensationalized baby death case. He was Assistant District Attorney in New York County in the office of legendary District Attorney Frank Hogan, where he ran the Homicide Bureau, served as Chief of the Criminal Courts, and was in charge of the DA’s legal staff training program. He served as Deputy Chief counsel for the Congressional Committee investigation into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He also served two terms as mayor of Beverly Hills and taught Advanced Criminal Procedure for four years at Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley, and has conducted continuing legal education (CLE) seminars for practicing lawyers in California, New York, and Pennsylvania. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Tanenbaum attended the University of California at Berkeley on a basketball scholarship, where he earned a B.A. He received his law degree (J.D.) from Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley.
