Where I Can See You

by Larry D. Sweazy

Haunted by the disappearance of his mother when he was eight years old, detective Hud Matthews begins his own investigation to find out what really happened so many years before. When a rare murder occurs in the lakeside community, Hud's veteran skills are called upon to capture the killer. Pulled deep into the threads of the community with ties to the past, Hud quickly becomes a target, not only of the killer, but of those who wish the past to be left alone. As Hud gets closer to discovering the truth about the crimes, he has to face a choice of enforcing the law, or stepping outside of it to make sure that his version of justice is served.

Review

"Where I Can See You is a first-rate small-town mystery full of crackling suspense and enough surprises to make the reader's head spin. But the book's protagonist, Hud Matthews, is the real star here. A tough, smart, sensitive man haunted by his past and furiously compelled to keep looking for answers no matter how painful they may be. Don't miss a single tension-filled word of this one!" --David Bell, bestselling author of Since She Went Away "A disgraced big-city police detective's search for his mother and the return to the familiarity of his old hometown provide a solid framework for noir mystery. Juxtaposed against a series of seemingly senseless murders, the story unfolds with escalating tension. Readers are in the hands of a writer who knows how to tell a riveting story through the development of sympathetic characters--without the easy reliance on graphic violence." --Anne Hillerman, New York Times-bestselling author of Rock with Wings "No one weaves a mystery quite like Larry D. Sweazy, and never has his one-of-a-kind knack for twists and thrills been on better display than in Where I Can See You. Hud Matthews is a hard-hewn, mold-breaking detective hell-bent on unearthing the secrets of not only his boyhood home--a small town with a skeleton in every closet, a ghost around every corner--but of his own past. And by any means necessary. Written with rich and vivid prose, Where I Can See You is a story that sinks its teeth into you and doesn't let up until the last page is turned." --Adam James Jones, award-winning author of The Vendetta of Felipe Espinosa "Sweazy is the rarest of writers. He aims for the jugular and hits it every time. Few do it as well. None do it better." --Brandt Dodson, author of The Sons of Jude "A master of narrative description, Sweazy paints from a cold palette. Hauntingly poignant, Where I Can See You rips the scabs off old wounds and long-buried secrets, revealing a tragic hero on a quest to unearth the truth of what happened to his beloved mother. Hud Matthews is a tough-as-nails, introspective cop who can take an oar upside the head and come back swinging. Rich and compelling, Where I Can See You is a moody tale of longing and loss, a quest through the haunted past to the violent present." --James W. Ziskin, author of the Anthony, Barry, and Lefty Award-nominated Ellie Stone Mysteries "Sweazy has skillfully woven three strands together in this taut and moody mystery: Who killed a young woman and left her body at the edge of Demmie Lake? What happened to Detective Hud Matthews in Detroit that led him to return to the Lakes and join their underfunded force? And why did his mother up and vanish when he was an eight-year-old boy? Sweazy sets this yarn in a vividly evoked lakeside town, a long-time vacation destination now crumbling into nostalgia, poverty, and drugs. I could smell the mud by the lake and the mold inside the cabins. The town is crumbling, but the old secrets, yearnings, and alliances are as strong as ever. Hud was once an insider, but years away have left him uncertain of what remains of the town he knew. He juggles old loyalties, new acquaintances, and his own agenda in this fine mystery." --Ann Littlewood, author, the Iris Oakley mystery series

Review Quote

PRAISE FOR A THOUSAND FALLING CROWS : "Sweazy vividly evokes the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl in this gritty historical.... Sure to attract fans of Westerns and readers who favor well-plotted mysteries with plenty of atmosphere." --Library Journal STARRED REVIEW and MYSTERY OF THE MONTH PRAISE FOR SEE ALSO MURDER : "[A] terrific first in a projected series.... The characters are superbly drawn, and the prairie--its flatness, winds, and critters--is an evocative character in its own right." -- Publisher's Weekly STARRED, BOXED review MORE PRAISE FOR THE WORK OF LARRY D. SWEAZY: "Sweazy has a created a new, relatable, and endearing hero in Marjorie Trumaine, the indexer who becomes a detective, and by writing in her voice, a voice of the prairie, demonstrates again that he is as fine a genre writer as exists. But Sweazy goes further. By taking us to the isolated plains of the Midwest during the 1960s, he has found his own perfect backdrop for murder. Like Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles or Elmore Leonard's Detroit, Larry Sweazy can claim the Dakotas as his own, with every approaching lone car a threat, and every silhouette on the horizon a possible killer. In See Also Murder , Larry Sweazy shows us his landscape brilliantly, and proves that miles of open nothing can be as dark and dangerous as a rain-soaked back alley." --C. Courtney Joyner, author of Shotgun (reviewing See Also Murder ) "Powerful writing and a precise sense of place. ...Here is that rare combination of artistic use of language and crackerjack storytelling in a mystery filled with moments of bold, sudden revelation. ...Sweazy's powerful mystery will guide the reader wide-eyed into the wee hours, savoring the task of picking at the tight weave of crime within. The only disappointment comes in waiting for a second book in what is sure to be a long-lived series." --Matthew P. Mayo, Spur Award-winning author of Tucker's Reckoning (reviewing See Also Murder ) "A distinctive bonus, however, is that Marjorie, an indexer to the tips of her fingers, includes a draft index to her own first case. That's got to be unique in the annals of the genre." -- Kirkus Reviews (reviewing See Also Murder ) "Tales of lawless Depression-era America form a genre all their own, and Larry D. Sweazy's murder mystery in the center of the manhunt for Bonnie and Clyde is as good as the best." --Loren D. Estleman, author of The Sundown Speech (reviewing A Thousand Falling Crows ) "His skillfully crafted mystery kept me on the edge of my chair for hours. The first thing I wanted to do after finishing this hard-edged mystery was to go looking for anything else written by the talented author, Larry Sweazy. This man knows how to tell a story! I couldn't put A Thousand Falling Crows down for long--the characters stayed with me, refusing to let go, until I was able to finish the story and learn their fate." --David Thurlo, coauthor of the critically acclaimed Ella Clah, Copper Canyon, and Charlie Henry mysteries
