Description
As the head of the New York District Attorney's homicide bureau, Butch Karp is an intimate of cops and criminals, of judges, politicians, and the meanest streets of America. He is also a loving family man. Juggling these two lives, Karp sometimes dares to think he's gotten everything he's ever wanted in life. It all comes undone when his loved ones are touched by the incendiary power of human obsession.
It's the obsession of a man stalking a world-famous musician. It's the obsession of Karp's own office, where ambitious lawyers vie for the most high-profile cases, and where Karp goes up against one of the most brilliant defense attorneys in America in a murder trial laced with racial overtones. It's the obsession of Butch's wife, Marlene, whose detective agency specializes in domestic violence and who carries a Colt .380 to protect herself and her clients. But neither Butch nor Marlene realize that they are about to become flash points in two of the hottest controversies to rock the city in years.

Description
Butch Karp goes up against a formidable defense attorney in a case that threatens to turn the city against itself. Back as head of the district attorney's homicide bureau, Butch Karp comes up against one of his most bizarre cases yet. A series of racially motivated murders in Harlem prove to be the work of a wealthy suburbanite out to relive a twisted episode from his childhood. The killer's showboating defense attorney will stop at nothing to derail Karp's prosecution--even if it means igniting a race war. But while Karp relentlessly pursues the guilty, his wife, Marlene, risks everything when standing up for victims of domestic abuse crosses into vigilantism.
