“Anagnos smartly uses the structure of the police procedural to probe the ways in which the 1970s were both an incredibly progressive and sneakily regressive time for women — and the ways men struggled to keep up when things were changing at such a dizzying clip.”

—Sarah Weinman, NY Times

“ . . the best kind of noir—a crime as complex and relevant today as it ever was, a world where one good man can still make a difference.”

—Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde

“Contemplative, pacy, and with a setting so vivid you can taste the industrial grit on your tongue. Paterson, New Jersey in the late 1970s is not a place I’ve ever yearned to visit; by the time I reached the propulsive climax of Anagnos’s story, I never wanted to leave.”

—Kat Rosenfield, author of the Edgar-nominated thriller, No One Will Miss Her

“. . . . all the intrigue, twists, turns, and danger one would hope for in a great crime novel. Anagnos has written a compassionate, emphatic, sweet and sexy protagonist who I not only like but love. . . . A page turner is an understatement. Nightswimming pulls you in and doesn’t let you go.”

—Patricia T.M. Dunn, author of the award-winning novel, Her Father’s Daughter
