Fury

Written by Robert K. Tanenbaum

Narrated by Lee Sellars

In Brooklyn, a female jogger is brutally raped; the assailants are convicted and later exonerated by the Kings County DA. Now the guilty are filing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the city of New York, the police, and the two assistant DAs who tried the case. While the cops and the criminal justice system are under media assault, Karp has suspicions that there is corruption within his own office.
Against a backdrop of Russian mobsters and corrupt lawyers, Butch and Marlene are on a mission to restore the system's lost dignity and bring the rapists to justice. All the while terrorists are at it again, planning to blow the roof off Times Square on New Year's Eve. Alas, the Karp family finds itself in lethal jeopardy, and to survive, they must team up and fight their greatest battle yet.

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.

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.

Reviews for Fury

[benfulton · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Take two parts senseless violence, one part gratuitous sex, two parts conservative propaganda, mix in a smidgen of John Grisham and the Lone Ranger, and serve with a side of Native American spiritualism, and you get this book. Tanenbaum either couldn't decide what he wanted to write about, or couldn't make any of his ideas take up more than fifty pages, because there are no less than four separate plots running through this book, unrelated except for the main characters. Three of the plots involve courtroom intrigue, while the fourth is a good old-fashioned find-the-bomb thriller. It's just barely worth wading through to find the good bits.
