Brought to Washington to assist in the Congressional investigation into Kennedy's death, Karp was expected to toe the line.

If you read the first two (2) paragraphs under the entry of "Warren Commission" @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Commission, you'll discover one of the chief concerns about the creation of the investigation into the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, was that "a commission would ultimately create more controversy than consensus, and those fears proved valid."
Corruption of Blood is a novel of a possible theory and it's even more breathtaking from page-to-page as the star is our dearly loved Karp and the loves of his life (wife & daughter). Then there's the incredible remembrance that the author, Robert K. Tanenbaum was Deputy Chief Counsel to the Congressional Committee Investigation into the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. AND then you just keep wondering...Is it really a novel?
Don't start this book before bedtime like I did and then expect to get sleep! You have to stay awake and keep reading! (

This novel really didn't do much for me, the cover claims "his most enthralling legal thriller to date" and I have to say after reading this I dare not read the early ones if this is the peak of excitement offered by the author.

The story is implausible at best - Butch Karp, a New York Assistant DA, is hired by a newly formed Congressional Committee to find out who assassinated John F Kennedy; from here the story goes down hill, slowly and methodically for 300 pages becoming more and more implausible with secret assassins, ongoing conspiracies and Congressional backstabbing. The last 100 pages is moderately more interesting but I wouldn't go so far as to say 'enthralling'.

Not helping the experience was the book itself, Signet in all their cost saving wisdom made this mass market paperback edition more narrow and compressed the text blocks more than normal to save paper. The result is a book that is slightly awkward to hold and requires more force than usual to hold open due to the lack of leverage on the narrower expanse. If you are determined to read this novel, I would highly recommend steering clear of the Signet mass market paperback edition. (

There are a lot of things to like about this book. The characters aren't particularly well fleshed out, but the Washington political maneuvering is dead on, and the speculation about the JFK murder is really interesting - and especially telling as the author was part of a government investigation on that subject. Not that what is written here is particularly believable - it's overly melodramatic to be true. I hope. And the title is a real coup - it's nothing more than an old legal principle, mentioned in the United States Constitution, but it's certainly going to be bringing people in.

I've not read any of the other Karp books, but I get the feeling they're probably pretty formulaic. Still, it's a nice formula. (

Tanenbaum treats the women of his books as the god-given burdens of the heroic men. They are (of course) responsible for most of the evil in the world, except for that caused by those whose skins are marked by darker pigment, whose evil is directly proportional to the shade of their pigment. (
