This is one of the earlier books in the Karp/Ciampi series by Robert Tanenbaum. The writer balances far too many plot lines and creates a most unlikely story. To his credit, it is most readable yet is nothing special. As time has progressed, the stories have gotten better than the work being reviewed.
Rated by buyers -
Implausible, but readable. Many loose ends get tied up at the end, but not the biggest mysteries. Why would a D.A. quit his job to take on his old case for free, while endangering his pregnant wife? How could he just a few weeks later join an NBA team, and oh yeah, be a star. Lazy plotting and absurd coincidences occur far too often.

This is his best book by far
Rated by buyers -
It was fast moving, unpredictable and funny. I recommend it for people who love to see the good guys win.
