Joseph Trigoboff lives
in New York City with his wife and two children. The Shooting
Gallery is the sequel to his first Detective Yablonsky novel,
The Bone Orchard.
For his novels, Joe
draws much on his childhood in the violent neighborhood
of East New York/Brownsville where street and fist-fights
were commonplace and packs of wild dogs roamed the streets.

When Detective Yablonsky is called upon to investigate the murder
of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, he is drawn into the seedy
underbelly of Manhattan's elite world of the rich and famous, and
a hard-boiled world of corruption and murder. The climax takes place
in the heart of the East Village, where Starbucks and drug-infested
"shooting galleries" sit side by side.
THE SHOOTING GALLERY is a lean, taut, gripping novel that
transcends the mystery genre. In uncovering a new definition of
corruption, and with it a new motive for murder, Trigoboff wields
his pen against rigid Liberalism and the pervasive belief that redemption
works. Good intentions, and the roads they pave, often run awry
in Trigoboff's characters. Things aren't always as they appear and
it's up to Detective Yablonsky to uncover the fatal flaws in men
and women, and the City itself.

Praise for The Shooting Gallery:

"THE
SHOOTING GALLERY is not a book for naptime reading. Trigoboff
never gives you a dull moment. And the background is as
intriguing as the plot. Hope to see it on the bestseller
lists."
-Tony Hillerman
"This
book smells like New York! Trigoboff has delivered more
than a thriller, more than a procedural, a work of fiction
that on every page drips with the life-blood of a cop."
-Kinky Friedman
"Joseph
Trigoboff knows what he's talking about. In THE SHOOTING
GALLERY, he guides us, like a clear-eyed combination of
Jimmy Breslin and William Burroughs, though the ripely urban
landscape where crooked judges, wised-up journalists, hypocritical
politicians and weary cops define the reality the rest of
us, whether we know it or not, have to live with. Trigoboff's
ear is pitch perfect, and his heart is where it should be."
-Peter Straub
