Immoral Certainty

Immoral Certainty, Robert K. Tanenbaum
I think this is the first Karp I read, and I understand, now, why I like the series so much. This book was a lot better than the ones before, in my opinion. The action was quick, the plot was complex, the dialogue was funny. And, everything got tied up in a credible way. Reading through these books, I have imagined them as movies and I think this might be one that could work. I can see Paul Giamatti as Guma, the DA with mob connections. I can maybe see Edward Burns as Karp, maybe Ed Norton as VT Newbury. The story line here was a bit disturbing, as it dealt with child molesting. I remember one particular image that has been an unpleasant part of my memory since I first read it. However, I think the story ties up well. With the remarkable difference between this one and the previous one, I wonder if there is not some credence given to the guy who said he ghost wrote several of these for Tanenbaum. I wonder if this was his first or the first one he didn't write. Either way, I recommend this one if you are looking for a legal thriller diversion.
