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.
DNF, at least for now. This is a grimdark crime novel and I don't feel like that right now. Broken characters everywhere, depressing lives and I just don't need that right now.
I had read a review of a future book in this series by my friend Lise who gave the whole series a really good rating, so after I noticed that I actually own the first one, I decided to listen to/read this one. Lise's right, it's good and worth the time :-)
This book is complete and defines/describes the characters well with no inconsistencies and no loose ends hanging. Definitely worthwhile.
Does not show here but remember trying to read earlier.. Sorry not interested in the beginning. Maybe further on in the series it gets better.
