About this listen
Graham Sanderson thought he’d left it all behind. His years as a Washington, DC, homicide detective, his tragically dead wife, pain, violence. Taking over his father’s house in the remote Finger Lakes region of rural New York, and looking after his shut-in brother, Tommy, seemed like a respite. That is, until the first body is found.
The chief of the town’s small police jurisdiction, who is also a family friend, asks for Graham’s assistance. Graham’s instincts immediately kick in and he soon discovers there’s more to the area – the people, its brutally quiet, sophisticated hierarchies – than he or his family ever knew.
David Swinson's latest novel is a soulful, rural noir story about belief: the extremities to which it pushes a community, the fear it instills in the hearts of adherents and doubters alike, and need for it nevertheless. As Graham delves deeper into the strange and then stranger circumstances of the murders, his own beliefs become challenged. What do you finally stand for when you’ve got nothing left to lose?
Critic Reviews
Praise for David Swinson:
Swinson is a modern master of lean, no‑frills, throwback noir." — Eli Cranor, Edgar Award‑winning authorof Don't Know Tough and Ozark Dogs
Pages don't flip this fast without wind and Swinson has whirled a hurricane of a story." — David Joy, author of Those We Thought We Knew
"Drawing on his experience as a D.C. cop and writing in clipped, terse prose, Swinson transforms the
turn of the millennium into a distant noir‑tinged era that feels both tougher and simpler than the
present. This is sure to please fans of George Pelecanos and Richard Price." — Publishers Weekly,
Starred Review
"Swinson is one of the best dialogue hounds in the business." — The New York Times Book Review
