What Amazon says:

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 Ornewood, a veteran detective whose marraige 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 key to breaking the case wide open.

This was an interesting enough book.  I watch the Will Trent series on TV, so when I learned it was from a book, I looked it up.  This is the first in the series, and it was fine.  I found a lot of similarities to the show, except the Michael carracter.  The TV show went a very different way with him.  The book spends a lot of time with the ex-con and at first I didn't know where she was going with so much story where he was the main focus, but then it made sense.  Will isn't in this book as much as I would have expected since he is supposed to be a main character.  Overall, though, a good read.
