For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins when a shocking act of negligence results in homicide. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and the DA is listening.

Complicating matters further is Butch's wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, who has decided to return to law.

He's been doing the hard stuff for three years now, but never anything like this.

Good Writer - Forced Plot

I like Butch Karp and his entourage of characters. I like Tanenbaum's ideas and the unpredictability of his narrative. But so much happens in the last 20% of this thing that it became distracting. I'll probably buy the next in this series particularly if it's read by Richard Ferrone. If you're looking for a total escape from the day's chores or commute - okay, that's what Hoax does.

Very good not a HOAX

I think this may be the best book so far in this series. Strong characters, strong plot, and great narration made for a wonderful listening experience.

Loved it!

This was the second listening, and it still was fresh and spellbinding. 1 star off on performance as the narrator tended to use the child voice for every character. 1 star off on the story as it would present pieces out of order then back-up multiple times to cover what had happened from different character perspective, instead of weaving the perspectives chronologically.
