Originally published in June 2012, this is the latest in Tanenbaum’s Butch Karp series, featuring a New York District Attorney, and wife Marlene Ciampi, who frequently dances on the wrong edge of the law in the process of upholding street justice.
Quote:
New York District Attorney Butch Karp has no qualms about putting David and Nonie Ellis on trial following the excruciating death of their young son, Micah. To him, the case is cut-and-dried—reckless manslaughter. Helpless ten-year-old Micah counted on his parents to protect him from the effects of a rare but treatable cancer. Instead, the Ellis family relied solely on prayer and the guidance of snake-oil salesman Reverend C. G. Westlund, of the End of Days Reformation Church of Jesus Christ Resurrected, to save him. ….
Amid the firestorm of controversy surrounding the case, Karp’s wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, heads to Memphis to uncover Westlund’s past. The evidence she finds is enough to blow the top off the con man’s scheme—if she doesn’t get herself blown away in the process. Back in Manhattan, meanwhile, Karp is confronted by a deadly nemesis from the past who has explosive plans of her own. The edge-of-your-seat action comes to a head at the annual Halloween parade when a merciless struggle between good and evil metes out its own fatal form of justice.

In my opinion, this one is far from the best of a really enjoyable series. If you’re already a Tanenbaum fan (as I am), you’ll probably love it. If you’re not already hooked on the series, I’d suggest the earlier books, unfortunately at a much higher cost.
