From Publishers Weekly
Thriller fans with a high tolerance for improbability will best appreciate Tanenbaum's latest Butch Karp novel, which picks up where Fury (2005) left off. The Manhattan DA has foiled psychopath Andrew Kane's bid to become the mayor of New York City; Kane, the former head of a law firm, awaits trial for murder at the Tombs. When Kane's attorneys seek their own psychiatric evaluation, they arrange for the high-risk prisoner to be examined at a private hospital upstate. Few readers will be surprised when the convoy is waylaid, allowing the criminal mastermind to escape and plot a bigger crime. Having allied himself with al-Qaeda, Kane seeks to bring about a cataclysmic act of terror while getting revenge on Karp and his allies. Unconvincing character reactions don't help the over-the-top plot, though the cliffhanger ending is sure to shock longtime followers of the series. (Sept.)

From Booklist
Picking up pretty much where ^iFury^r (2005) left off, this new Butch Karp mystery finds the New York district attorney targeted by an obsessive nutcase. Andrew Kane, the psychotic former mayoral candidate (his evil plans were thwarted by Butch in ^iFury^r), escapes from police custody and hooks up with a bunch of terrorists whose destructive plans for the city conveniently align with his own plans for revenge. Meanwhile, Butch is coming up for reelection, and he is suddenly handed a murder case in which the accused is a high-profile citizen who also happens to be a muckety-muck in the opposing political party. Tanenbaum keeps the suspense level high, although some readers might want to see a little more of the Kane plot and a little less of the political story line: Kane is a very interesting villain, but he doesn't get the screen time he deserves. The book ends with a couple of enormous unresolved questions, which is good because readers will definitely leave the book wanting more. A former trial lawyer and homicide investigator for the New York District Attorney's Office, Tanenbaum writes grittily realistic legal thrillers; this one, despite its engaging villain and topical terrorist story, is one of the weaker entries in the series, but it will still draw plenty of readers.

Counterplay
By G. Anderson
Well, I was warned and got this book anyway. Calling this another in the Karp/Chiampi series is very misleading. The characters have the same names but thay are not the same characters. In fact this book has such flat characters I almost see it as characterless. It is clear that when Michael Gruber left the farm, so did the characters and writing we all loved. Whatever Mr. Tanenbaum did that caused Michael Gruber to move on - he should apologize and get him back, or end the series. I feel a little like the victim of a fraud by having had this book passed off to me as another "in the series". I'm going to buy Michael Grubers's books from now on.

The worst, yet, by Tanenbaum. Bring back Michael Gruber.
By Kristin Belko
I could not imagine that Counterplay would be worse than Fury but oh how wrong I was: a convulted, no, an idiotic plot; ridiculous characters (this book has appearances by almost every character appearing in earlier books;) a pathetic "relevance" by tying the bad guy in Fury to Al Qaeda; plot developments furthered by heretofore hidden Karp relatives who are Russian mobsters explained in tediously long, nonsensical narratives; the Karp/Ciampi duo foiling yet another terrorist attempt at mass murder in the Big Apple; etc.
The first books of the series were ghost written by Michael Gruber, a fact noted by Tanenbaum who dedicated most of these books to Gruber in acknowledgement of his contribution. The truly terrible quality of the last three books, culminating in Counterplay, makes it clear that Gruber is no longer assisting in the writing. I can't believe that these books have been professionally edited.
The plot is absolutely ridiculous (Tanenbaum asks us to believe that Al Qaeda would align itself in planning a terrorist attack with Kane, the imprisoned bad guy from Fury, because he also sells illegal arms. Kane is clearly insane and carries more baggage than any dozen other arms dealers together but we are asked to believe that al Qaeda links up with him, breaking him out of custody and thus arousing all of NY's police and of course the Catholic Church which Kane savaged.)
Almost every character from previous books has been brought back but in a context that makes it seem, as another reviewer has noted, that Tanenbaum didn't read the earlier books. For example one character, John Jojoba, a reformed alcoholic who committed to sobriety to properly raise his son and who spent Fury having a spiritual battle against his old Viet Cong nemesis (who just happens to be Marlene's old buddy Tran, what a coincidence!!)in Counterplay has Tran as a drinking buddy. Or Lucy, who in Absolute Rage tells her boyfriend that her amazing liguistic abilities are dependent on her remaining a virgin, is in Counterplay and Fury, without explanation, living and fornicating with Ned, a highschool drop out but a sharpshooter with a sixgun.
Worse than the bad writing, idiotic plot, ridiculous characters and ludicrous coincidences is that Tanenbaum can no longer write a good trial story, which was once his forte. In Counterplay, Karp takes second seat in a murder prosecution in support of his old buddy Guma (brought back in Fury)on a case that the Karp of the Michael Gruber books would have laughed out of the office. It is, in fact, the complete reverse of what Karp preached repeatedly in earlier books: DAs go to trial on what they can prove, not to achieve justice. Guma and Karp want "justice" for a murder victim and take a case to trial that is devoid of provable evidence (they don't even have a body.)
Save your money. Don't buy this book. Don't support this kind of rip off by an author/publisher. This is bad stuff. If we don't buy it, they won't publish it.
