| Publisher Description: When a promising actress from Spanish Harlem dies from a gunshot wound in a fashionable Tribeca hotel penthouse apartment of an eccentrically famous Broadway producer, it is up to New York DA Roger "Butch" Karp and his hard-charging, crime-fighting wife, Marlene Ciampi, to champion the murdered actress' cause. Karp, outraged by defense tactics to destroy the young woman's reputation-and then left with little choice after the mysterious death of the assistant DA originally assigned to the case-decides to personally prosecute the case and expose the "big lie" defense. With Marlene's assistance in locating and persuading a fearful witness to come forward, Karp is determined that money, threats, notoriety, and a high-powered defense attorney and his legion of experts will not prevail over justice. |
