Take two parts senseless violence, one part gratuitous sex, two parts conservative propaganda, mix in a smidgen of John Grisham and the Lone Ranger, and serve with a side of Native American spiritualism, and you get this book. Tanenbaum either couldn't decide what he wanted to write about, or couldn't make any of his ideas take up more than fifty pages, because there are no less than four separate plots running through this book, unrelated except for the main characters. Three of the plots involve courtroom intrigue, while the fourth is a good old-fashioned find-the-bomb thriller. It's just barely worth wading through to find the good bits.
good book but a little far-fetched at times - is he taking a page from Brown?
Butch Karp and wife Marlene are the best characters in a supurbly written novel Tanenbaum never disappoints you!
If you're a white male, you're going to love this book.
