Swann's Last Song
(2006)(The first book in the Henry Swann Mystery series)
A novel by Charles Salzberg
2009 Shamus Award for Best First PI Novel (nominee)
Skip tracer Henry Swann cares little about anything but money, so when a beautiful Upper East Side woman shows up in his office and hires him to find her missing husband, he smiles and takes the cash. But when this seemingly simple missing-person case turns into homicide, Swann finds himself trapped in a complex web of connections and multiple identities that takes him out of New York City and across two continents. Praise for SWANN'S LAST SONG ... "Swann's got the smarts and hard-boiled cynicism of Sam Spade, but he's also got a wicked sense of humor that keeps things cool even when the action gets hot." - Brian Kilmeade, author of New York Times bestseller The Games Do Count "Salzberg's a hell of a writer. He delivers thrills, insight and plenty of laughs. Swann is a very cool take on the classic P.I." - Andrew Klavan, author of True Crime and Don't Say a Word "A veritable travelogue of suspense, SWANN'S LAST SONG grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let go. Salzberg's anti-hero is a soulful investigator and one of the most paradoxically endearing characters I've come across. I hope this isn't Swann's last song." - Joy Behar (co-host of The View) "Salzberg defies expectations left and right in this subtly subversive, genre-twisting page turner. SWANN'S LAST SONG is where literature meets entertainment" - Mark Goldblatt, author of Africa Speaks
