Book Description:
As the city sizzles under the early summer sun, New York chief assistant D.A. Butch Karp and his family are happily vacationing on Long Island's north shore. Their reverie changes to horror when they learn that their beachfront neighbors, Rose and Ralph "Red" Heeney -- a coal miners' union leader -- have been brutally murdered back home in tiny McCullensburg, West Virginia. Irresistible force meets immovable object when the governor appoints Karp special prosecutor to bring justice to the corrupt rural town, its ruthless union boss, and his band of violent henchmen. Now, Karp finds himself not only searching for the killers, but fighting to protect his own family from an evil that runs as deep as the mines that fuel it.

The Karp and Ciampi clan takes on some clans in the hollers of West Virginia coal country. Well written and some new character development for Lucy and her brothers

Butch Karp fans watch out, when his family is threatened there is no holding back this DA. I found the book to be engrossing from the moment I picked it up, the cover is a bit torn, but that is only due to my intense reading. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.

At first had a hard time getting into it, but after about 20 pages, I couldn't put it down. Great storyline & characters. I'll try this author again.

"Absolute Rage" is one of Robert Tanenbaum's best. It starts calmly and gradually builds up to a brain bashing crescendo as it zeroes in on some genuine hillbilly killers who hold an entire region of West Virginia in terror and who have involved Butch and his family by killing a friend. No fan of Tanenbaum's will be dissatisfied with this book. Unlike many authors who write successive series, he doesn't spend page after page telling about the past or describing the personalities of his characters. He lets that information develop as part of the story, which is a real relief.
