Sinossi
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.

Condizione: Fair. New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum delivers his grittiest, most ethically challenging thriller yet, as New York chief assistant district attorney Butch Karp fights for his family in the wilds of West Virginia's coal mining country.While New York City sizzles beneath a blanket of early summer humidity, the Karp family is happily taking refuge in their renovated farmhouse on Long Island's north shore. Karp's battles against the City's corrupt politicians are never-ending. His wife, Marlene, is training guard dogs on their picturesque acreage; Lucy is enjoying her summer break from Boston College and playing the part of the dutiful daughter, assisting with the running of the business and tending to her rambunctious twin brothers.The tide quickly changes, however, when Marlene befriends her beachside neighbor, Rose Wickham-Heeney, a northeastern aristocrat turned wife of West Virginia coal mine union leader Ralph ?Red? Heeney. Soon after the fun-filled weeks of family barbecues and lazy afternoons with the Heeneys, the Karps discover that Rose, Red, and their daughter, Lizzie, have been brutally murdered back home in McCullensburg. Irresistible force meets immovable object when the West Virginia governor appoints Karp as special prosecutor to bring justice to the corrupt town, its union chieftain, and his band of merry thugs. Marlene joins Karp as he searches for the killers and works to save his own family from an evil that runs as deep as the mines that fuel it.; Paperback 2002 met schoon binnenwerk; op de franse pagina met pen twee getallen.
