About this ebook
The Israeli/Palestinian conflict erupts in NYC in this “hair-raising” pre-9/11 thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Material Witness (People).
An elderly Jewish couple has been gunned down in their Fourteenth Street delicatessen. Above them, anti-Israel graffiti has been scrawled in Arabic. Evidence points to a few clueless teens, but this seemingly open-and-shut case threatens to stir up a dangerous and divisive media frenzy.
As rhetoric from Jewish and Muslim community leaders reaches fever pitch, prosecutor Butch Karp and his wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, fight to keep the city from coming apart at the seams. But the truth behind the horrifying crime is far more dangerous than anyone thought—and more victims are turning up. If public outrage doesn’t destroy the city, an ingenious group of conspirators just might.
From the former New York assistant DA and bestselling author of Infamy, this is a classic entry in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, which shows 1970’s New York in all its violent, dirty glory.
Reckless Endangerment is the 10th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
“While the legal writing is as expert as ever, this book gets its punch from Tanenbaum’s knotted, tangled vision of Manhattan.” —The Washington Post Book World
