Tanenbaum's done it again: Resolved is a complex, suspenseful tale of justice in the Big Apple, as a vengeful and sadistic killer sets his sights on the man who put him away -- New York Chief Assistant District Attorney Butch Karp.
The fifteenth installment in Robert K. Tanenbaum's blistering New York Times bestselling series sees Karp up against one of his most frightening tests, and the stakes have never been higher. A convicted killer named Felix Tighe has escaped from prison and has vowed to hunt down and execute the NYPD detectives who arrested him years ago. Tighe's also planning a fight to the death with Chief Assistant District Attorney Butch Karp, the man who put him away.
Felix Tighe's laser-focused, obsessive hatred of Karp has simmered during his prison confinement, where he has spent time with Feisal Abdel Ridwan, a radical Islamic fundamentalist -- and their sordid connection only fuels his loathing of Karp.

Quotes

“Tanenbaum takes a hard, often politically incorrect look at the abuses in the legal system…The beauty of the Karp series is the blending of the bottomless cynicism that one finds in the best criminal lawyers with the sublime detachment that exists in the best writers.”
— Washington Post -
“The kind of satisfying, action-packed legal thriller with edgy New York atmosphere that Karp and Tanenbaum fans have come to expect and appreciate.”
— Tampa Tribune -
“The family dramas are as fascinating as the criminal ones…Fans won’t be disappointed.”
— Publishers Weekly

" Ugh! I listened to this. Never read or heard the others. The language was awful, stunted and brash. The family was completely unbelievable and unlikable, the story didn't flow. Long, trash talking, getting drunk scene that had nothing to do with the story at all..... "
