Another journeyman effort by Tanenbaum in the continuing saga of Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, their oddly gifted children and the maniacs with which their lives are constantly being bombarded, "maniacs" both benign and truly evil. Tanenbaum keeps your attention from 1st page to last. An entertaining crime mystery shot through with strange characters from the streets (and under the streets) of New York.
