In classic Robert Tanenbaum style, Counterplaypicks up right where Furyleft off - hitting the ground running, literally, with corrupt, would-be mayor Andrew Kane escaping from prison. Kane, of course, has designs on killing Butch Karp and his family. Hence, it's no surprise that Counterplaybegins with the Karp family scrambling to conjure a viable plan to handle the escape.

What they don't know is that Andrew Kane's strategy is to join forces with a terrorist group and organize a major attack in New York City. Once again, Tanenbaum writes a masterful thriller involving the most memorable - and un-putdownable - corruption and courtroom confrontations. Counterplay, the latest book in the bestselling Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi series, proves to be another full-bodied, riveting page-turner.
