Even thought I thought this particular book started off a little slower than some of his other novels, it finally picked up speed and you began to see where it was going. As the action unfolds slowly, deliberately, cleverly and planned to the last detail, the richly drawn protagonists constantly struggle with thought-provoking, hugely complicated questions about morality, faith, and family. This sixteenth in the popular series is a bit more philosophical than most, despite drawing its impetus from a scandal picked right from the headlines. We still give it [4-Stars].
DESCRIPTION: A rap impresario is gunned down in New York City, made to appear that gang-related violence has reared its ugly head once again. But nothing's as it seems in this taut thriller involving murder, corruption and political scandel at it best. IThe vicious murder of a West Coast rapper sets things in motion, unleashing a white-hot cascade of events that expose violence, greed, and corruption not only at the NYPD and the DA's office but also at the city's Catholic archdiocese. Evidence surfaces connecting rogue priests to murdered kids, and featuring enough sensational plot twists, heart-racing action, and brilliant crime solving to fill ten books, as Karp attempts to untangle the web of violence and corruption that threatens both his career and the lives of his family.
