FROM THE DUST

DAVID SWINSON

From The Dust by retired Detective David Swinson is a heart-wrenching, exciting, and tumultuous read. This is a story that stays with the reader long after the last page has been turned. It is a procedural, but much more. The characters are living beings with problems, some surmountable, many unresolvable, as in life.

Retired Washington, D.C. Major Crimes Detective Graham Sanderson moves to upstate New York to be with his agoraphobic brother. There, Sanderson finds a nest of trouble, including his brother, who is an agoraphobic and suffers from PTSD. Bodies start to fall, and clues, forensic and otherwise, begin to point to Sanderson’s brother. The police Chief of the small town is anxious to put down the case when it turns into a serial killing with no known suspect except Sanderson's brother. What comes next is a twisty, sometimes unpredictable case run by Sanderson and a rookie investigator. Swanson is a top-notch writer in any field; readers should rejoice that he chose to excel in mystery and thriller.
