The world of Detective Blum is a complicated place where it is easy to descend into the lonely and heart wrenching realities of life on the twisted, coiled streets of D.C. David Swinson brings us along for the ride, putting us in the middle of conversations, cradling us in his darkness and the spiraling consequences of compounding bad decisions. It is, at its essence, a truly human story where the lines of light and dark are obscured by love and passion. Swinson proves he is a true master of vital, detective noir.
