Deputy D.A. Butch Karp knows why people kill. For revenge ... profit ... survival ... pleasure. But for some, murder is beyond reason ...

An elderly shopkeeper is found brutally slain in Manhattan.

An undercover cop is shot to death while off duty.

A third victim is spotted floating in the Hudson River, his skull pumped with five .22 caliber slugs.

The Murder. The Cover-Up, The Stunning Discoveries. . .

He's never lost a case, and now ace Manhattan Assistant D.A. Butch Karp is getting a crack at the biggest one of all: the reopened JFK murder investigation. But when sordid segments of the CIA and a self-serving Congress start pulling the strings of justice Washington-style, it looks like somebody wants the old Warren Commission's lone-gunman verdict to stand.

Karp won't let it, and plunges headlong into a growing web of conspiracy spun by some of the Hill's heaviest higher-ups. After turning up doctored evidence and dead witnesses, Karp, his indomitable wife, Marlene, and their own team of crime specialists find themselves being stalked by a mysterious killer - who just happens to be a dead ringer for Lee Harvey Oswald. Time is short and the list of pitfalls long as Karp and company creep closer to the terrifying truth...and their own deadly peril.

Book 3 - - Material Witness - - 408 pages - - 1993 - - Butch Karp #5

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 D.A. Burch Karp grabbed control form 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 enterprising terror team.

Ad 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.

Book 6 - - True Justice - - 436 - - 1999 - - Butch Karp #12

For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins with the discovery of a newborn baby, apparently murdered, then casually discarded with the city's refuse. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and Karp's boss, D.A. Jack Keegan, is listening. He has ordered the prosecution of the baby's fifteen-year-old mother for murder, intent on making a very public example of the girl. A Hispanic from a poor neighborhood, she's an easy mark for big-city bureaucracy and bigotry. It is Butch Karp's unpleasant job to see that the prosecution gives the public what it wants: a quick and thorough administration of hard-line justice.
