About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Features a new introduction on the origins of the Will Trent novels and Triptych’s place in the series
“Crime fiction at its finest.”—Michael Connelly
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 bestselling 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.

About the book
From the critically acclaimed author of No Exit and The Last Word comes a story of two friends who embark on an ill-fated caving expedition—and the dark truth of what happens deep underground.
After years of excuses, Tess has finally agreed to go caving with her best friend Allie. Their lives have diverged sharply since high school—Allie is a self-made travel influencer, while Tess is a shy (and claustrophobic) legal assistant struggling to pay for law school. Maybe she’s a little jealous of Allie's globe-trotting life. Who wouldn’t be?
As Tess and Allie descend into the depths, they realize they’re not alone. A stranger who claims to be a fellow caver harasses them. Confident, take-no-shit Allie insults the guy—and he retaliates. Soon, Tess is trapped inside a narrow crawl space hundreds of feet underground, fighting to stay alive.
Twenty-four hours later, as a hospitalized Tess recounts her harrowing story of survival, the detective interviewing her shares new and shocking secrets about Allie's true past. Together, they begin to suspect the brutal attack wasn’t so random after all.
Who was Allie, really? Why did this man target them? And did Tess really leave the danger behind when she escaped the cave?

About the book
I didn’t plan on coming home at forty-three. And I definitely didn’t plan on letting the wrong man into our house.
Newly divorced, unemployed, and out of options, moving back into my childhood home was supposed to be temporary—just long enough to get back on my feet and take care of my mother.
But the house had problems I couldn’t fix. So I hired a handyman who said he could.
Lance Cutler arrived with confidence, charm, and every solution we needed. My mother welcomed him like a gift sent straight from heaven. And I wanted to believe that, too. I really did.
But the longer he stayed, the less safe our home felt.
The way he looks at me. The way he moves through the house like he belongs there. The day I realized someone had been through my underwear drawer…
That’s when I knew I’d made a mistake.
Now I’m trying to figure out whether I’m imagining things—or whether I’ve invited something dangerous into our lives.
And if I have…how do I get him out?
If you enjoy tense, twisty domestic thrillers where danger moves in quietly and home no longer feels safe, The Handyman will pull you in and refuse to let go until the final, stunning page.
