Book Description:
New York. A world of mean streets, where a killer is operating with the "immortal certainty" that he or she will never have to pay for the snuffling out of human life. It's a world where Assistant D.A. Butch Karp and his beautiful colleague Marlene Ciampi must unravel three savage murders that they know of - and more that they suspect. Heading their list of suspects is a charming but vicious sociopath who turns out to be just the beginning of a twisted human chain that leads from a posh day-care center...to the Mafia...to a monstrous figure that child victims call "the Bogeyman." And just as three separate investigations are pulled into a single murderous knot, a kidnapping occurs that not only jeopardizes the case, but everything that Butch Karp holds dear.

This cynical, fast-moving novel, the third in the Butch Karp series, concerns the workings of the judicial system in the Big City. The neat plot combines Satanism, pedophilia, Mafiosi, good-looking cops, corrupt judges, sociopaths, a pregnant one-eyed assistant district attorney who roller skates, and a love story, into something special. Tanenbaum, coauthor of two nonfiction crime books as well as De praved Indifference ( LJ 7/89) and No Lesser Plea (Watts, 1987), is also a former assistant district attorney and chief of homicide. As timely as tomorrow's nightly news, but not for the squeamish.

I thought this was the best in the series so far. If you can stomach the child abuse topic (VERY hard for me), this has the best plot.

"Immoral Certainty" is one of Tanenbaum's better stories. It is different but Tanenbaum has the art of making almost anything highly entertaining, as he did with this. His technique of keeping up with the lives of his characters are one of the series's strong points. I very highly recommend this book to any Tanenbaum or police story fan.
