Drawing on his personal experience as Chief of the Homicide Bureau for the New York DA and as legendary trial lawyer, and focusing on the New York City criminal justice system, Tanenbaum plunges Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi into the dangerous collision between the Mafia and the powerful Chinese criminal gangs who are fighting to take control of New York's organized crime underworld from the Mob.
Karp, now Chief Assistant District Attorney, and Ciampi, Karp's wife who runs a private security firm specializing in protecting abused women, become entangled in this escalating war from opposite directions: The DA's office is conducting a major murder investigation with top Mafia leaders as suspects, and Marlene is protecting a special Chinese family. When Butch's and Marlene's separate investigations reveal that rogue Chinese criminals have made assassination arrangements with the Mafia overlord, they each pursue justice-in distinctive and thrilling ways.
