About this audiobook
A tremendous fatal blast rocks a book-signing event where supporters have gathered to see the inspirational leading advocate for New York City charter schools, a Holocaust survivor. A neo-Nazi is the prime suspect, but District Attorney Butch Karp believes the hate crime may be a cover-up for a more sinister plot. The treacherous teacher’s union president has long been furious at the unqualified successes of the charter school movement, which threatens to expose his corrupt practices—manipulation and misappropriation of union funds and, now, possibly even murder.
But is there another motive behind the attack that could derail the case? How will Karp discover the set-up, and can he do so in time to bring justice? This exciting legal thriller ends in a dramatic courtroom showdown that proves New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum is always at the top of his game.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Formulaic, almost orthodox as the boys are kidnapped during their prep for their bar mitzvahs. Pistol packing Marlene solves that problem. The venal DA from an adjacent borough is significantly involved in legal, sexual and financial chicanery and challenges Karp in court. A lively denouement as the good guys prevail. A good entry in an excellent series.
