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.

I had been warned that Triptych was violent. I was not prepared for it to be so unrelentingly, brutally, and graphically violent. Mystery/thriller is my favorite genre. I get that a degree of violence is often part of the deal. Slaughter went to a wildly unreasonable extreme. This story could have been told with even more mystery/surprise (and better character and plot development) without the constant assault.
