Prosecutor Butch Karp takes on the deadliest case of his career in Robert Tanenbaum's most complex and suspenseful thriller to date. The focus of ABSOLUTE RAGE is the moral and ethical code that drives our hero, Butch Karp, to provide for and protect his family above all else. His code of honour is devoted unconditional commitment and love. A dynamic, blue collar presidential aspirant and his wife and child are murdered in West Virginia. His two surviving children demand that Karp prosecute the case, not the Feds or anyone else. Karp is reluctant to accept the case because of the political whirlwind that surrounds it, but Karp is assured complete autonomy to search for the truth wherever it may lead. The one thing Karp insists on is keeping his family far away from this explosive case. But just the opposite happens. His wife and children end up in mortal danger from which he must extricate them, while masterminding a complicated ruse to trap the murderers.

His wife, Marlene, is training guard dogs on their picturesque acreage; Lucy is enjoying her summer break from Boston College and playing the part of the dutiful daughter, assisting with the running of the business and tending to her rambunctious twin brothers.The tide quickly changes, however, when Marlene befriends her beachside neighbor, Rose Wickham-Heeney, a northeastern aristocrat turned wife of West Virginia coal mine union leader Ralph ?Red?
