Summary: A Thoroughly Entertaining, Contemporary Mystery
Review: Private Investigator Lou Corso is part superhero, part Greek hero, and part Cassanova. An ex-LAPD homicide detective, Corso is tormented by the theme of battered women in society, and haunted by his own past. His baggage includes a defecting girlfriend, the death of his beloved business partner, and a string of unsolved murders that have caused him enduring nightmares. A new client, Connie Terwilliger, becomes more than just a case to him - she's an opportunity to exercise his superhero skills and exorcise his demons at the same time. Through protecting her, though, Lou puts himself in line as her psycho husband's next victim. This fast-paced mystery has everything - suspense, intrigue, transformation, and even a little romance. Corso, above all, is compellingly human in every way. Insufficient Evidence is the best book I've read all year! I didn't want to put it down, and now that I've finished it, I'm dying for the next book in the series. Swart does a terrific job of weaving you into the tapestry of Corso's complex world, and he does it with slick dialogue, real-world characters and a great deal of atmosphere. And once you're in that world, you don't want to leave. Insufficient Evidence is a cleverly-written, classical PI novel with a modern twist. A resounding thumb's up!
