Publisher's summary

From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael's lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer's trail in the most coincidental of ways and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.

In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the best-selling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.

Yikes…

I think I had nightmares while listening to this book, but strangely couldn’t stop. It gets very graphic and I wanted to shed tears a few times. As a mother of a son I had a hard time listening to some of those prison scenes and the graphic details of rape and torture…the fact that these types of things truly happen in America is what disturbed me the most. Overall it was a great book. Pulled me in, but sad as well. I wish there would have been a different outcome for the killer.

An adult read

Entertaining; Yet, sobering. Graphic descriptions and depictions. Broken, but interesting characters. It was worth the credit spent.

A great read

Lots of details that keeps one fully engaged. This novel keeps one engaged fully as it weaves the most complex and sometimes horrific experiences ending with an emotional if not satisfying closure.
