Description
Taking readers to Paterson, NJ and the changing cultural landscape of the late 1970s, Nightswimming by crime novelist Melanie Anagnos reveals the world of Jamie Palmieri; a patrol officer three years out of the academy and frustrated with his slow rise to detective. That all changes on a frigid night in January, when a double homicide at RJ's, a local go-go bar, leaves both the owner and a young dancer dead, and Jamie is finally pulled onto a case for the short-staffed Paterson PD.
In the wake of the Rubin "Hurricane" Carter proceedings and the city's lingering distrust for police, Jamie is told to expect a " no one saw a thing" investigation. But when Jamie gets a small lead that switches his focus to the life of the dancer, he's sent on a new path, sharply diverging from the department that sees the case as a botched robbery first and foremost, and sees the female victim as only a small footnote.
While navigating a tricky new relationship with Missy, a woman who has arrived in Jamie's life at exactly the right-or is it the wrong?-time, the investigation is hit with another murder made to look like a drug deal gone wrong. As Jamie races to prove its connection to RJ's, the tables turn quickly, with the still-unknown killer now stalking Jamie through the dark streets of Paterson and beyond, and placing the people he's closest to in danger. Is it possible that this killer is closer to Jamie than he ever could have imagined? And, if so, what does it say about the world he lives in?
A classic police procedural imbued with the tumult of the 1970s, Nightswimming explores how one young man works out his own beliefs about the era's changing social narratives and discovers what it truly means to serve and protect.
