Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Roger "Butch" Karp has been around New York long enough to realize that the judicial system can be dirty and cynical. But he still believes in justice. So when a vicious sociopath tries to dodge a brutal murder charge by convincing the court he is incompetent to stand trial, Karp teams up with firecracker Assistant DA Marlene Ciampi to unleash the full force of their relentless energy, hardboiled wit, and passion for the truth to put the killer away for good. They will accept no lesser plea.

Such extreme emotions and it's all part of a terrific legal thriller.
5-stars all the way. Now, I'm going to look for more books by the author.

Too much information, you lost jest of story. His books are better read than listened to. Word word word.

A FAVORUTE SERIES, THIRD READING

This is the first of the series, where Butch and the love of his life, Marlene Ciampi meet -- a good introduction, because the series gets even more interesting later, after they're married and have a child who turns out to be a language prodigy, speaking any number of languages fluently, including Chinese. Her unique abilities lead the books in whole new directions and every one of them are just marvelous.
I read the whole series when they started to come out in the 1980's. I loved them so much I packed and moved my creased and tattered paperbacks every time I moved for decades. Now that I can get them on Audible -- or on Kindle, I see -- I can finally let the paper versions go.
As I listened to this one again, I was reminded of how little things have changed in the world of criminal justice since the 1980's. The same people are still committing the same crimes, being put into the same criminal justice systems, with the same woeful result. As Butch Karp remarks, "The criminal justice system is not just, but it most certainly is criminal." Yes, it was in 1988, and still is today -- which makes for some really good books, if nothing else.
Best of the best!

More Character Development Than Plot Development

Any additional comments?
The crude dialogue is masking the authors weakness in writing 3d characters. I honestly don't know people that speak in this juvenile and vulgar manner. The vulgarity of the characters prevents them from being fully developed. Women are sleazy, men obnoxious. This author can do better. Noir does not mean crude. In many instances the criminals are more refined than the lawyers.OK story
