Absolute Rage

Finally got this one from the used bookstore. Looks unread. Can't wait to start this continuing story of Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi.
From the back:
As the city sizzles under the early summer sun, New York chief assistant DA Butch Karp and his family are happily vacationing on Long Island's north shore. Their reverie changes to horror when they learn that their beachfront neighbors, Rose and Ralph "Red" Heeney - a coal miners' union leader - have been brutally murdered back home in tiny McCullensburg, West Virginia. Irresistible force meets immovable object when the governor appoints Karp special prosecutor to bring justice to the corrupt rural town, its ruthless union boss, and his band of violent henchmen. Now, Karp finds himself not only searching for the killers, but fighting to protect his own family from an evil that runs as deep as the mines that fuel it.

Excellent story once again. It's hard to believe that places and the mentality of rural W. Virginia still exists today. Parts of this book had me crying and very sad.
