A Detailed Man

A Detailed Man

"A relentless tour of DCs most crime-ridden streets, with many beautifully written surprises, and darker than the deepest noir."
~ Madison Smartt Bell

"David Swinson grabs you by the scruff of the neck and never lets you go. With clean, tight, enticing writing, Swinson provides authentic detail about Washington, D.C. and some of its crime-flush neighborhoods. He also captures perfectly the jaded attitude of a veteran cop in the big city."
~ Alan Lengel, editor of ticklethewire.com

Half of DC Police Detective Ezra Simeonâ€™s face is immobilized from a persistent case of Bellâ€™s Palsyâ€”he must drink through a straw and eat carefully to avoid chewing through his own cheek. He has been detailed from robbery to the cold case department while he heals.
â€œHow odd to dream with one eye open, like having one foot in reality,â€ Sim muses in the dark, bluesy vein that is typical of his Chandler-esque narration. â€œThatâ€™s what makes dreaming dangerous and why I moved my gun farther from the bed.â€
Detective Simeonâ€™s half-frozen world begins to heat up when a friend from his Academy days drops dead of a heart attack, and Sim is tapped to replace him, detailed now to homicide, where he inherits the high-profile case of a murdered escort he alone thinks may be the victim of a serial killer.
