It was bad news when New York's top celebrity athlete was blown away in his white Caddy with a huge stash of coke. Those bullets buried his good name in the dirt along with him. That's when Assistant DA Butch Karp grabbed control from officials all too eager to muddy the case into oblivion for political reasons. On his side were his very pregnant wife/partner, Marlene Ciampi, taking the kind of risks even the police wouldn't touch, and a burnt-out, juiced-up cop who'd already seen his best days. Against him was an accumulation of mobsters, hitmen, city big guns and big shots, all operating together as an eneterprising terror team. As Karp and Marlene got deeper into this money-and-murder investigation, even they realized that blowing the whistle on the movers and shakers of New York law enforcement might be the last breath either of them would ever take.

"Material Witness" is one of the earlier books in the Karp/Ciampi series. It is fast moving, unpredictable and funny. Read it.
