Book Review by Robert Walch
He’s not
the kind of person you want to cross. Longshoreman Charlie Vitteli is
the new president of the North American Brotherhood of Stevedores and
what he says is law on the docks. Pit-bull nasty and as street smart
as they come, Vitteli has fought his way to the top and if you value
your well-being, you don’t challenge him.
Apparently
Vince Carlotta didn’t get the message. Vitteli’s fiercest rival
has accused him of embezzlement, election rigging and other abuses.
Not smart! Carlotta is now dead, allegedly killed in an armed
robbery, but everyone knows who is behind the murder.
Of
course proving Vitteli is responsible is going to be a nearly
impossible task but District Attorney Butch Karp is handed the
assignment. With his wife’s assistance, Karp is going to try to
find the hired assassin and then link him to Vitteli.
It’s
a challenge few would accept but Karp and his wife, Marlene Ciampi,
are determined to see that justice is done even though they are
putting their own lives on the line.
There
are some “out of the blue” surprises and odd twists that make
this latest legal thriller from Robert Tanenbaum one of his more
captivating novels. One of the best known trial lawyers in the
country, Tanenbaum brings an authenticity to his stories that few
other authors can match.
