Depraved Indifference

Depraved Indifference, Robert K Tanenbaum
This was book number two for Butch Karp et. al. I don't think I had read this one before. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought I would. There was lots of complexity in the book, but the characters still don't seem fully fleshed out. I look forward to the birth of Lucy and the appearance of Tran. This was set in 1976, and it is still interesting to think about these as movies. This one ended up being a conspiracy involving the Catholic Church, the CIA, and a Croatian zealot who turned out to not be who he was expected to be. We did see the probable removal of Karp's nemesis in his own department, Conrad Wharton, as well as Karp's removal as section chief. This main storyline here was a group of Croatian nationals who hijacked a plane and ended up blowing up a policeman with a bomb placed in a locker. But, there was a lot of intrigue surrounding it. Enjoyable, a quick read, but not spectacular. Yet.
