The shooting death of a rap mogul is the first link in a sinister chain ensnaring New York District Attorney Butch Karp. With his wife and daughter on a New Mexico retreat, Karp is left to fend for his teenaged sons and himself. Descending into the hip-hop underworld to prosecute a killer, Karp comes head-to-head with Andrew Kane, a powerful would-be mayor whose corrupt web of influence leads Karp to unveil a shocking church sex-abuse scandal. In a world where secrets can be buried for an often-deadly price, Karp discovers there is no safe haven.

"The first Tanenbaum Book I truely enjoyed. This time he did not introduce so many characters you could not keep them straight. The plot was great and was well developed. "

Quotes
-
“One of the most authentic voices in American crime fiction, Tanenbaum takes us on another turbo-charged ride down mean streets, with characters we’ve come to love. Hoax is a brillaintly plotted thriller with enough twists and turns to live up to its name and enough heart-stopping action to keep you turning pages through the night.”
— Linda Fairstein, New York Times bestselling author -
“The action always unfolds slowly and deliberately, cleverly planned to the last detail, and the richly drawn protagonists constantly struggle with thought-provoking, hugely complicated questions about morality, faith, and family…Tanenbaum smoothly reprises events of the previous two books as he relentlessly builds suspense and gets ever closer to the hearts and minds of his singular characters.”
— Booklist -
“In vigorous and full-bodied prose, Tanenbaum gives dimension to a large cast of characters.”
— Kirkus Reviews

" If I had read this and not listened to it, I would have found it tedious, but listening to it was fine. It's not great writing and the plot is a bit cliched, but I found the twin boys cute, and I liked the relationship between the mom and daughter. "
