The most thrilling revenge plot ever

They call him el Carnicero-the Butcher. He is the most powerful drug lord on the planet, and when the city of New York incurs his wrath, he utters a single word.

'Venganza!'

With military precision he strafes Central Park with 4000 pounds of cocaine, raining death on almost a thousand innocent people enjoying a summer afternoon.

'This is not how it ends,' he warns. 'This is how it begins.'

The only NYPD unit trained to go up against this level of terrorism has been disbanded, so the task falls to former NYPD captain Danny Corcoran and a handful of top cops-all retired-to regroup and cripple the cartel before their frenzied leader destroys the city.



Marshall Karp is an international #1 bestselling author, TV and screenwriter, and playwright. He wrote the critically acclaimed Lomax and Biggs novels, featuring LAPD detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs. Then, with James Patterson, he cocreated and cowrote the NYPD Red series, featuring Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald, who are part of an elite squad sworn to 'protect and serve New York's rich and famous.' After six bestsellers, Marshall will carry the series forward on his own with NYPD Red 7. For over twenty years Marshall has worked closely with the international charity Vitamin Angels, providing tens of millions of mothers and children around the globe with lifesaving vitamins and nutrients.

PRAISE FOR THE #1 BESTSELLING NYPD RED SERIES COAUTHORED BY MARSHALL KARP AND JAMES PATTERSON

NYPD Red 2, like its forebear, stands out due to Karp s unmistakable style. Karp, already one of my favorite authors because of his wonderful Lomax and Biggs mysteries, gets a chance in the mega-selling spotlight with this terrific series, and he soars with the opportunity.

-SCOTT COFFMAN LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL

In the case of NYPD Red, there is simply too much fun-in the form of inventive murder, sex, chemistry, investigation, more murder, more sex, and the like. Though the book is complete in itself, there are plenty of interesting characters who could carry this as a series for as long as Patterson and Karp will want it to go.

-BOOKREPORTER.COM

Patterson and Karp spare no plot twist in this page-turning thrillerâ¦Love triangles, mafia ties, and political entanglements abound, layering this character-driven mystery in such a way that no dull moment ever arises.

-HAMPTON SHEET MAGAZINE ON NYPD RED 2

Patterson and Karp once again prove that this is one crime series that s not to be missed-the literary equivalent of your favorite summer blockbuster movie.

-NIGHTSANDWEEKENDS.COM ON NYPD RED 2

PRAISE FOR MARSHALL KARP S LOMAX AND BIGGS MYSTERIES

...the comedy never overshadows this smart, many-layered thriller...Lomax, Biggs, and the FBI have their work cut out for them in a clever plot that will keep readers guessing to the very end. Enthusiastic readers will anxiously await the return of detectives Lomax and Biggs.

-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW FOR THE RABBIT FACTORY

Karp offers multiple twists that will keep most readers guessing until the end, and balances the grim plot with Biggs s inexhaustible supply of genuinely humorous one-liners. Kinky Friedman and Carl Hiaasen fans should latch onto this series.

-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, STARRED REVIEW FOR CUT, PASTE, KILL

Totally original, a sheer roller coaster ride, packed with waves of humor and a dynamic duo in Lomax and Biggs. Karp shows a master s touch in his debut.

-DAVID BALDACCI ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

Read this book and you ll be grinning the whole way through. Marshall Karp knows how to keep a story running full speed, full time. This one s a blast.

-MICHAEL CONNELLY ON FLIPPING OUT

...irrepressible and often poignant...Like the best of Donald Westlake and Carl Hiaasen, The Rabbit Factory is deftly plotted and deliciously askew.

-BOOKLIST STARRED REVIEW

Probably the hottest crime caper this year. Lomax and Biggs are fun, fun, fun, page after page, and... the tension never flags for an instant.

-BOOK OF THE MONTH, GATEWAYMONTHLY.COM (U.K.)
ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

You re going to love meeting Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs, a pair of hip homicide detectives with the LAPD; unless, of course, you re the perp. Smart, funny and intuitive, Lomax and Biggs glide through the overlit shoals of Los Angeles like sharks through ginger ale. As up to the minute as they are intensely observant, the guys, this time, prowl the golden muck of the LA real estate bubble to fine effect; an exhilarating read.

-DONALD WESTLAKE ON FLIPPING OUT

This outstanding fourth chapter in the canon of Detectives Lomax and Biggs provides further proof of the indisputable: Marshall Karp writes the funniest dialogue in the detective genre. If you have not yet read the Lomax and Biggs books, you simply must start.

-LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL ON CUT, PASTE, KILL

Marshall Karp could well be the Carl Hiaasen of Los Angeles-only I think he s even funnier. The Rabbit Factory will touch your funny bone, and your heart.

-JAMES PATTERSON

...brings to mind Robert B. Parker, Janet Evanovich, Dean Koontz, Stuart Woods, and a lot of other fast-paced authors.

-JANET MASLIN, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
FOR THE RABBIT FACTORY

Better than mostly anything on the market...The Rabbit Factory is, quite simply, stunning... Worth every single second it takes to fly through...632 pages of unadulterated magic.

-CHRIS HIGH, TANGLED WEB AND SHOTS MAGAZINE (U.K.)

This is a nigh-on flawless first novel-I thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the writing style of the author and I implore you to simply read it!

-DEBUT BOOK OF THE MONTH,
CRIMESQUAD.COM (U.K) ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

...just the right blend of belly laughs and suspense...Karp s second offering is every bit as funny and fast-paced as The Rabbit Factory.

-BOOKLIST STARRED REVIEW FOR BLOODTHIRSTY

...wickedly funny...this quirky, off-kilter novel also has a really big heart...[and] an emotional core that will make readers care about these tough but vulnerable crime fighters and keep them hoping for a sequel.

-BOOKREPORTER.COM ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

Blending the gritty realism of a Joseph Wambaugh police procedural with the sardonic humor of Janet Evanovich, Karp delivers a treat that s not only laugh-out-loud funny but also remarkably suspenseful.

-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ON FLIPPING OUT

The Rabbit Factory was a joy to read...[It] has been compared to the work of Carl Hiaasen, but I m happy to say it s much better.

-THEBOOKBAG.CO.UK

A plot that reaches 7.5 on the Richter scale...a host of brilliantly cast characters...[and] switchblade sharp dialogue. Lomax and Biggs are two of LAPD s finest, as fine a pair as have ever come out of the city s fiction

-BOOK OF THE WEEK, DAILY SPORT (U.K.) ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

The frenetic plotting and outrageous characterisation are in [Carl Hiassen] s line...but the anti-establishment humour is reminiscent of another darkly humorous novelist, Joseph Heller.

-PUBLISHING NEWS (U.K.) ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

I strongly suspect that Marshall Karp is the secret love child of Raymond Chandler and the Marx Brothers, with some Dorothy Parker around the edges. Karp should be considered a national treasure.

-CORNELIA READ, EDGAR NOMINEE FOR
BEST FIRST NOVEL ON BLOODTHIRSTY

Unplug the phone, pull up your favorite chair, and settle in for the best mystery novel this year. This strong debut is an often hilarious head-scratcher, and features a smartly drawn cast of characters...a page-turner.

-SCOTT COFFMAN LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

Karp craftily engineers a statement on ethical values, both institutional and personal.

-KIRKUS ON THE RABBIT FACTORY

The Rabbit Factory is beautifully written, with lifelike characters, humor, and a sense of intimacy that only good research and experience can provide...fun to read, full of humor along with accumulating suspense. And even with that many pages, you ll be sorry there aren t more!

-WHO-DUNNIT.COM

Marshall Karp needs a blurb from me like Uma needs a facelift. This guy is the real deal, and Bloodthirsty is a first class, fast, funny, and fabulous read by a terrific writer. Great entertainment, highly recommended to one and all.

-JOHN LESCROART, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Bloodthirsty is worthwhile as much for the repartee between its main characters as it is for its mystery plot....will further Karp s reputation as a humorous mystery writer in the vein of Elmore Leonard, Kinky Friedman and Carl Hiaasen.

-BOOKREPORTER.COM

...features the funniest detective duo around...a seamlessly plotted caper that hooks you on page one and never lets go...Karp is a true talent who understands how words entertain, and The Rabbit Factory does just that.

-CANNON BEACH GAZETTE

Laugh-out-loud funny, realistically portrayed, break-neck-paced, and powered by literally hundreds of hilarious one-liners...Karp has hit the jackpot with Lomax and Biggs. The most endearing and wildly entertaining protagonists to grace the pages of a mystery novel in years.

-PAUL GOAT ALLEN ON BLOODTHIRSTY

With this fifth long-awaited book in the Lomax and Biggs series, we see Marshall Karp return in full force with his poignant trademark humour that never seems to leave the room, even under the direst of circumstances. Karp really has the coveted talent of being able to turn virtually any situation into something worth laughing at, helping to create a balance with the numerous dark places the story goes to.

- David...
