A parentβs worst nightmare sets the stage for the exhilarating new thriller in Robert K. Tanenbaumβs New York Times bestselling Butch Karp series.
New York District Attorney Butch Karp has no qualms about putting David and Nonie Ellis on trial following the excruciating death of their young son, Micah. To him, the case is cut-and-driedβreckless manslaughter. Helpless ten-year-old Micah counted on his parents to protect him from the effects of a rare but treatable cancer. Instead, the Ellis family relied solely on prayer and the guidance of snake-oil salesman Reverend C. G. Westlund, of the End of Days Reformation Church of Jesus Christ Resurrected, to save him.
Westlund and his zealous followers set up camp outside the DAβs office, angrily protesting the indictment of their βbrotherβ and βsister,β but the charismatic leaderβs true objective is to create a diversion from an alarming fraud. He coerced Nonie Ellis into signing an insurance policy that listed himself and the church as beneficiaries in the event of Micahβs death, but he needs the Ellises to be exonerated to get the payout. When David Ellis discovers the deception, no amount of faith can save him from his gruesome fate.
Amid the firestorm of controversy surrounding the case, Karpβs wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, heads to Memphis to uncover Westlundβs past. The evidence she finds is enough to blow the top off the con manβs schemeβif she doesnβt get herself blown away in the process. Back in Manhattan, meanwhile, Karp is confronted by a deadly nemesis from the past who has explosive plans of her own. The edge-of-your-seat action comes to a head at the annual Halloween parade when a merciless struggle between good and evil metes out its own fatal form of justice.
