Acerca de esta escucha
A CIA chief dies under suspicious circumstances before he is about to testify about a controversial government cover-up involving a terrorist attack on the US mission in Chechnya. Butch Karp is on the case in this exciting installment to Robert K. Tanenbaum’s best-selling series.
When the CIA director is murdered, Butch Karp finds himself battling a heavyweight opponent: the US government. The national presidential election campaign’s foreign policy mantra has been that the terrorists are on the run and Bin Laden is dead. There are rumors that the CIA chief was going to deviate from the administration version of events, and that the government may have had something to do with his death. Can Karp expose the cover-up and find the Chechnyan separatists who aided the Americans at the mission and who have firsthand knowledge of the terrorist attack? Karp must also find his missing daughter, who has been taken hostage by the terrorists.
After the New York grand jury indicts the national presidential campaign chairman and the NSA spymaster for the murder of the CIA chief, Karp engages in an unforgettable courtroom confrontation with the defendants who have the full weight of the US administration, a hostile judge, and a compliant media supporting them. These sinister forces will stop at nothing to prevent Karp from bringing out the truth, even if they have to resort to murder.

Historia
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.

Historia
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. It is Butch Karp's unpleasant job to give the public what it wants - a thorough administration of hard-line justice - by prosecuting a poor, Hispanic, fifteen-year-old mother for murder. Complicating matters further is Butch's wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, who has decided to return to law.

It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Gotta Love These Tough Older Guys

De: David Baldacci
What did you love best about Fatal Conceit?
the non-stop action all over the globe with national and international intrigue.What other book might you compare Fatal Conceit to and why?
I've read other books by Robert Tanenbaum with the Carps involved in politics through the DA and private investigation through his wife. But now daughter Lucy has brought the family to the international scene with terror.Have you listened to any of Bob Walter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't believe I've heard Bob Walter before. He's quite good.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
An explosive story that involved national and international deceit and threats.ANOTHER TREMENDOUS ADVENTURE FOR THE CARP FAMILY

What did you like best about Fatal Conceit? What did you like least?
What I liked best was Tannenbaum continuing his use of the same characters present since the beginning of the series and his use of real current events to enliven the story. What I like least is his consistent error in his references to St. Teresa of Avila. I find her apparitions to Lucy clever and amusing, but the credibility would be enhanced if he discontinued referring to St. Teresa as a martyr. She was a virgin (V); not a virgin/martyr (VM). I also think he could have shaved off a couple of hours by cutting back on a lot of unnecessary and frankly uninteresting details on some of his sub-plots involving secondary and tertiary characters.What other book might you compare Fatal Conceit to and why?
I would compare it with all the books in the Butch Karp/Marlene Campi series. All of the great characters are present in their typical form.Would you listen to another book narrated by Bob Walter?
Yes, I would. He did an adequate job and also got an extra star from me for not making any blatant mispronunciations which are (regrettably) typical of so many readers---even some of the better ones. Nothing against Mr. Walter, but authors should stick with the same readers when they are writing books that are part of a series. People get used to particular voices and associate them with the respective characters.Do you think Fatal Conceit needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It doesn't "need" one but I'm sure it will get one.Any additional comments?
Nope.Another good tale of Buch Karp and company

Fatal Conceit has been in my Audible library for several months but I delayed listening to it because I doubted I would like it. Author Robert K Tanenbaum has been releasing novels for 30 years, but this is the first one I have listened to or read. It will not be the last! Bob Walter's narration is stellar.
Superb legal and political thriller!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The author may have a good story here, but spends too many words in thinly veiled whining about liberal politics and the evil press. Just write the danged story and send the political opinions to someone who wants an editorial! This is the second Tannenbaum book I have found annoyingly preachy. When I read a novel, I don't want to get a liberal or conservative rant in the process. There is plenty of nonfiction for that purpose.What do you think your next listen will be?
None of this guy's books!Would you listen to another book narrated by Bob Walter?
ProbablyCould you see Fatal Conceit being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I don't know...I stopped it after the rant.Is this a Novel or an Editorial?
