MALICE Bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum pens his most suspenseful novel yet -- sending Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi on an investigation filled with twists and turns, gripping courtroom action, and a terrifying murder plot.   Taking on a shadowy terrorist cartel, New York DA Butch Karp struggles to uncover those responsible for planning the murders of innocent schoolchildren. Meanwhile, he must also travel to Idaho to help his college roommate's younger brother, who has been unfairly suspended as a college baseball coach. Joining her husband in Idaho, Marlene Ciampi soon befriends a Basque sheepherder who is searching for his daughter, whose disappearance may be related to Karp's case. And if that wasn't enough, the couple's daughter, Lucy, is furiously working to unmask an assassination attempt planned to occur in the heart of Manhattan -- a traitor's plot to further empower an evil criminal empire.
