Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi

Robert K. Tanenbaum's long-running New York legal thrillers, following prosecutor Roger "Butch" Karp and his wife Marlene Ciampi from the Manhattan DA's office of the 1970s onward. Twenty-nine novels, from No Lesser Plea in 1987 to Without Fear or Favor in 2017. Tanenbaum was a homicide bureau chief in that office himself, and the procedure shows it.
