Fatal Conceit

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 bestselling 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."
