The Tapping: Death...All Things Before and After
The Tapping is an adrenaline-filled forensic crime story of murder, lust, and corruption that collides with a supernatural tale of lost souls seeking justice and revenge. Howard Levinson’s gripping new novel, The Tapping galvanizes readers from the moment they are first introduced to Morris Green, a detective and physician, a killer and a savior. Narcotics Task Force Detective Dr. Morris Green is gravely wounded during a drug deal gone bad. At the exact same moment across town, two children, Robbie and Taylor Wiley, are viciously murdered. And in that ephemeral space between life and death, their souls intertwine. Green barely survives his injuries. The children are not so lucky. Green undergoes an arduous recovery from his injuries and descends into a drug- and alcohol-induced haze to kill the pain and forget. Meanwhile, the children are trapped in limbo. They require justice to cross over and begin “Tapping” Green like a rider spurring a horse. Unwittingly, Green undertakes a cold-case review of the Wiley murder investigation. As he closes in on the truth, he discovers an elaborate conspiracy of corruption, extortion, and murder. The tentacles of a powerful Organized Crime family are protecting the killers. Their reach extends to members of Green’s own police agency, to special agents in the elite Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI, and to several high-ranking officials within the US Department of State. Green comes to the realization that helping free the trapped souls of the children may be the only way he can save his own. His journey toward self-redemption and justice for those who no longer have a voice will leave fans of gritty crime drama and haunting ghost stories breathless for more.

Great Read
This book kept me quessing all the way. Loved the justice but now who is she at the end. Tell me there's a book that picks up there.

Levinson has done a great job with the second published book. This book ALMOST scared me away, since it is over 500 pages in paperback. However, I REALLY enjoyed his first novel, THE MERCURY VAPOR LAMP EXPERIENCE- so I thought I would give it a try. Levinson has definitely outdone his first effort, with an excellent novel, creating a really good forensic crime story as good as any CSI episode, but combined with murdered-child ghosts seeking justice for their killer. And with this novel, Levinson has created a great character - Morris Green, detective AND physician, who appears artfully poised for a sequel.
