Tanenbaum is a Brooklyn boy who served a term as mayor of Beverly Hills, all background along with his career as a DA for the Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi novels. In Escape, the 20^th in series, newly re-elected, NY DA Karp battles the “insanity of the insanity defense,” as he tries to make Jessica Campbell, a rabble-rousing political science professor at NYU, pay for the murder of her three children. Karp disbelieves her claim that God told her to send them to Him and seeks to prove a motive for this modern Medea. Meanwhile the Sheik and his homegrown jihadists plot a spectacular assault on the city. The Karp daughter Lucy has gone underground, and a motley crew of crimebusters proves their mettle.
