Author of the acclaimed novels Jack the Bear and Bluebird
Canyon, Dan McCall is known for his probing and ulti-
mately affirming novels of the struggles of personal and
family life. In the newest and most accomplished novel of
his long career, McCall gives us the story of Triphammer
a veteran cop who relieves the pressures of his job with
booze, a father who gropes uneasily for the respect and
affection of his son, a lover who t;alls into something that
seems too good to be true.
TRIPHAMMER is the story of a man who carries the small
tragedies of his past in secret, whose present frustrations
remain inarticulate.Being a cop, even in this small gray
city in upstate New York, is no picnic. And Triphammer
is the kind of guy who can t help getting emotionally
involved. His drinking is just an occupational hazard, but
it isn t helping him get any closer to his teenage son or
clear away the wreckage of a marriage that went up in
flames a few years back. He s made some progress, but he
wants more than just to muddle along; and when a beauti-
ful and sophisticated woman twenty years his junior en-
ters the picture, things begin to change.
TRIPHAMMER is a novel of personal awakening, of the
small acts of bravery, trust, and love that can lead to new
possibilities. In the gifted hands of this remarkable au-
thor, the voice of Triphammer and the seemingly unre-
markable experience it articulates become eloquent, rich,
and strange.
