 "Versatile Sweazy (See Also Deception, 2016, etc.) punctuates the lawman's quest, laid-back yet urgent, with snatches of flash-forward dialogue that warn you not to expect a series." -- Kirkus (for Where I Can See You)

 "[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."  -- Publishers Weekly -- STARRED REVIEW (for See Also Murder) 

 "Sweazy's prose is rich in suggestive detail, perceptive and hard-edged.   -- Providence Journal (for See Also Murder)
