No Lesser Plea (Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


Roger Karp, the handsome DA with an insatiable lust for justice, won't rest until he gets no lesser plea than "guilty of murder" out of a vicious assasin. Mandeville Louis had just killed two people in cold blood, then cleverly threw a phony crazy fit in court and walked away from his trial. Now, laying in wait in a psychiatric ward until the heat is off, Louis may slip through the system again. But Karp refuses to let go of this smiling dude who laughs at the law while he kills and kills and kills. For even in the relative security of a mental hospital, Louis's killing spree is not over as Karp's beautiful colleague, Marlene Ciampi, becomes an unwitting pawn in the two men's deadly battle of minds...and murder.
