Justice Denied

Justice Denied, by Robert K. Tanenbaum
More good stuff from the Karps. One of the things I like out of this series is that each book contains a single contained story line that is both complex and logical. It also develops the characters outside of that story line so that the series itself is connected and flows through time. That is appealing to me. More research has revealed that the actual guy who wrote most of these, Michael Gruber, is Tanenbaum's cousin. And, one might surmise, that Butch Karp is a heroic interpretation of Tanenbaum himself. This book involves some Armenian terrorism, the second kind of terorism in the series, the first being Serbian. It also deals with Marlene developing her Rape division. It's a good read. As they mostly all are. I also think they could be turned into screenplays. Let's see...
I have already said
Edward Burns as Karp
Edward Norton as VT Newbury
Paul Giamatti as Guma
and
Blond Dewayne Johnson as Roland Hrcany
Leo from The West Wing as Harry Bello (he's skinnier than Bruce Willis)
Marlene... undecided could be Nicole Kidman? Beautiful Blond Italian who will spend most of the movies witha glass eye and destroyed fingers? Robin Wright Penn? strong character? I don't know
Lucy... still a noname child
Joe Morton as Clay Fulton
Frank Langhella as DA Bloom
some possibilities
