Resolved


Published by Simon & Schuster
New York Times Bestseller: ADA Butch Karp is targeted by an obsessed enemy in a “satisfying, action-packed legal thriller with edgy New York atmosphere” (Tampa Tribune).

Convicted killer Felix Tighe has escaped from prison and has vowed to hunt down and execute the NYPD detectives who arrested him years ago. But there’s more—Tighe’s also planning a fight to the death with Chief Assistant District Attorney Butch Karp, the man who put him away. Tighe’s laser-focused, obsessive hatred of Karp simmered in prison—where he spent time with Feisal Abdel Ridwan, a radical Islamic fundamentalist, and their sordid connection only fuels his loathing of Karp.

Now walking free under an assumed identity, Felix stalks Karp to the very heart of his family as he plans a demonic assault on Karp’s daughter, Lucy. Full of Tanenbaum’s trademark twists and turns, Resolved roils with the tension of post 9/11 New York as Karp and his wife, private detective Marlene Ciampi, confront demons both internal and external—and the suspense builds to an almost unbearable climax at Manhattan’s central courthouse.
