"Infamy"

This is my
second book
by this author. 
It was MUCH
better then the
first one. 
Intrigue, murder, corruption, and dramatic courtroom battles combine to make Infamy another must-read in Robert K. Tanenbaum’s “tightly-written” legal thrillers. 

When a former Army veteran suddenly murders a colonel in New York, he claims that he had to do it because he was being used in mind control experiments. 

Surprisingly, a top Wall Street criminal defense lawyer, one with ties to the White House, decides to defend the killer, arguing that his client suffered from post-traumatic stress from his tours in Afghanistan and that it’s his patriotic duty to assist him.

As New York District Attorney Roger “Butch” Karp prepares a murder case against the veteran, he meets with investigative reporter Ariadne Stupenagel, who suspects that one of her sources for a story on high-level government corruption was a victim in the shooting. This points not to a random act of violence, but a hired killing that goes to the top levels of our nation.

In this fast-paced thriller, Karp goes up against corruption so powerful that he, his family, and his friends are in danger if he intends to prosecute those responsible for the murder of an FBI whistle-blower. Filled with edge-of-your-seat action, stunning plot twists, and, “solid courtroom scenes” (Kirkus Reviews), Infamy will keep you guessing until the very end.


“Trap” 


Could not

get into this
book for
some reason.
A tremendous blast rocks an established town eatery during a book-signing event that features the director and inspirational leading advocate of New York charter schools, killing three and wounding others. 

A neo-Nazi is the prime suspect, but the evidence leads Karp in another direction. 

The treacherous teachers union president has long been furious at the unqualified successes of the charter school movement in New York City, which threatens to expose his corrupt practices. 

The homicidal schemers fall into the trap of thinking that they can manipulate and misappropriate union funds, and even commit murder with impunity, given the power and influence that they purchased with their union dues. 

But is there another motive behind the attack that could derail the case? How will Karp discover the setup, and can he do so in time to bring justice to the murdered and maimed? 

It all ends in the kind of dramatic courtroom showdown that is New York Times bestselling author, Robert K. Tanenbaum, at his very best.
