Reckless Endangerment

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Narrated by: James Daniels

Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi discover themselves working on two sides of the same case when a set of double homicides rocks downtown Manhattan. A bloody warning scrawled on the wall above a murdered elderly couple sends the Jewish community reeling into a tension-filled confrontation with the city's Arab population. In neighboring Brooklyn, a 16-year-old Arab runaway seeks refuge in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, where she becomes caught up in the ugly world of prostitution and drugs. After murderously defending herself against a malicious pimp, she escapes into a woman's shelter on the Lower East Side, into the helping hands of Marlene.

As special prosecutor, Butch joins the hunt for the double murderers, finding himself in conflict with his own Jewish heritage, and with the realization that Marlene's case is inextricably linked with his own. As tensions build and fear escalates, New York City becomes a powder-keg of twisted emotions in a case of kill or be killed.

On the fence

Love the series, hate the switch in narrators and also the fact that you ABSOLUTELY LOVE SAYING NIGGER!

Becoming unbelievable.

I've read all the books in this series upbto this point. they started out GREAT, but now the further the story goes the harder they are to buy as being possible! a stiff neck straight forward DA with a hard line on "PUTYING ASSES IN JAIL" just accepts that his WIFE has a hit man living in there house, illegally ATTACKS men on the street, has her dog attack anyone she feels like, hides evidence in his cases from him, and helps a murderer evade himself and police. Forget that she spends more time and shares more secrets with all the other men in her life leaves at all Hours of the night, and for days at a time whenever she wants to, she puts their daughter's life in danger, and Carp just plays bitch and says ok I love her whatever she does im ok. Doesn't seem at all believable as a real life senerio. She amazingly never gets hurt while Carp is made out to be this super power at work but a complete wimp and idiot at home. I think I'm done with these books.

Really engrossing

I love these books by Tanenbaum. They are so involved. The characters are interesting and the story is always fascinating. The way the characters evolve over time is definitely one of the reasons I love this series.

My favorite so far

The real kicker comes in the very last sentence.
Tannenbaum is ok, but the real genius is Michael Gruber.

luckily the stories are good

If not for the stories in this series I wouldn't be able to stomach all the pushing politics and race bating. Its constant preaching that every white person is racist.
