Triple Threat [Paperback]

Relentless Aaron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2004

APRIL DAVIS is a woman who you’ve gotta love. She has such big, beautiful brown eyes that immediately tell you its okay to talk to her. Her smile is as humble as it is hearty—a combination that one could only be born with. A loving, compassionate soul, April always gives 110 percent. SISSY DICKERSON is April’s best friend. She’s pretty, with a tight G.I. Jane physique, and she’s been a policewoman with the New York City Police Department for years. Sissy usually gets her way, whatever it takes, mainly because of her inner strength, her determination and undying passion. But Sissy also has some issues. Her Teflon-tough attitude makes it hard to be social. It’s a barrier that’s been nourished by all the tragedy in her life thus far. It’s also made her this headstrong avenger. When she’s on the beat, helping others, or fighting crime, she’s also satisfying some of her own issues.

Finally, there’s RIVER RENE BURLINGTON, the very bitter, very deceitful murderess. As much as she loves her men she’s also killing them and getting away with it. But now that Sissy is so close to catching River, there are some surprises in store.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"AWESOME! A literary king!" -- Troy Johnson (AALBC-African American Literary Bookclub)

"Relentless Aaron has written another wicked novel that has his readers begging for more." -- ARC Bookclub

"Relentless is the most important energy to come to urban fiction since Goines!" -- C&B Book Distribution

From the Back Cover

From the mastermind of urban fiction comes an explosive look into the lives of three women unknowingly connected by a secret so volatile it could destroy them all...

TRIPLE THREAT

A twisted serial killer with a taste for cruel and unusual punishment is terrorizing New York. Tough-as-nails Bronx police officer Sissy Dickerson can't hide her growing desperation to catch the so-called Pink Heart Murderer--and neither can her best friend and rookie journalist, April Davis. A story this perversely gripping could be the big break she's been waiting for...

 "Relentless is seriously getting his grind on." --Vibe

For Sissy, finding the killer is about seeking justice. For April it's success. But for River Burlington--the Pink Heart Murderer herself--it's all just a game...and if Sissy and April draw any closer, she may just up the ante...and set them all hurtling towards an explosive climax that no one could see coming.

"Gripping."--The New York Times on Push

This review is from: Triple Threat (Paperback)

I heard so much about Relentless Aaron and his psychodrama, I just had to try it and see for myself. TRIPLE THREAT is a whirlwind ride through the lives of three very different women who are seemingly connected. Sissy Dickerson is a New York City police officer assigned to the domestic violence unit and on a daily basis, sees her share of abuse and the mockery that men make of the justice system. Sissy has abandonment issues - her father left the family when she was five years old. April Davis is a freelance writer, friend and housemate to Sissy. She is a very sensitive woman who constantly deals with the abandonment of her father through his death. And finally there is River Burlington. River is a murderess, killing more than twenty men by very sadistic means; you have to wonder what her story is.

As the body count rises, Sissy is drawn into the murders and is on a mission to catch the Pink Heart Murderer although it is out of her jurisdiction. April, needing a story that will win her some notoriety, tags along for some juicy facts. All the while River is luring them into her ruthless scheme in an effort to flush out Sissy.

The book begins with the introduction of River and immediately you are drawn in. The characterizations are three-dimensional and the detective in you will beg for you to continue reading for the conclusion. A conclusion that is plausible but shocking at best. A conclusion that will have you shaking your head and asking yourself why you didn't figure it out sooner. Relentless Aaron does a good job with the description of the settings in the Bronx; the drama, sex and murders are wild and wacky. However, what this story needs is major editing. Misspelled words and incorrect punctuations are rampant. With those corrections, I would say that Relentless Aaron has an exciting story on his hands. This is definitely not for the queasy and faint at heart.

RASB "Reading Diva" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Triple Threat (Paperback)

I could not put this book down, it kept me on the edge of my seat. It took me all of 1 day to finish reading this book, because for me it was an absolute page turner. It opens up witha a bang and ends with a bang and it will definetely have you wanting to know where's the sequel. I am a avid reader of Relentlessaaron and this is by far one of his best creations. I seen a comment posted by Ms. Flyod and was quite surprise to see that she wasn't happy with her selection. If you found the book predictable then that tells me that you didn't read the book from beginning to end, because anyone who I ever spoke with and I've spoken to many could not predict what would happen from one minute to the next. And to correct you, this book and Zane books are on two totally different levels. And Mr. Relentless keeping doing what you do ; -)

This review is from: Triple Threat (Paperback)

In New York, the city that never sleeps, tension mounts as the body count rises. A murderer is on the loose...

A serial killer with her own brand of justice. A police officer sworn to uphold the law. A journalist looking for a story to launch her career. Three very different women. One common denominator; a common denominator that could destroy each of their lives.

Relentless Aaron has created an electrifying thriller - a story filled with chilling suspense and graphic details. Triple Threat is definitely not for the squirmish as some of the scenes are pretty gory and disturbing. It's a novel you'll be likely to think/talk about for a long time.
