Paterson, New Jersey, 1979: Jamie Palmieri is an up-and-coming patrol officer, three years out of the academy and frustrated with his slow rise to detective. That all changes one frigid night in January, when a double homicide at a local bar leaves the owner and a young woman dead. In the wake of the Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter proceedings and the city’s lingering distrust for the police, Jamie is told to expect a 'no one saw a thing' investigation. But as Jamie traces a series of small leads, he’s sent on a path where the tables turn suddenly - with the still-unknown killer now stalking Jamie and the people he’s closest to.A classic police procedural charged with the social turbulence of the 1970s.Editorial ReviewsA New and Noteworthy Selection, The New York Times (2025)'Anagnos smartly uses the structure of the police procedural to probe the ways in which the1970s were both an incredibly progressive and sneakily regressive time for women - and theways men struggled to keep up when things were changing at such a dizzying clip...and bringsPaterson, at this juncture, to vivid life.'- Sarah Weinman, The New York Times Book Review'...debut novelist Anagnos sweats so many procedural details of Jamie’s painstakinginvestigation that you’ll sweat along with him. The real star of this show is Paterson, which feelsas menacing, vivid, and multilayered as Walter Mosley’s Watts.' -Kirkus Review'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 Ireached the propulsive climax of Anagnos’s story, I never wanted to leave.'-Kat Rosenfield, author of the Edgar Award-nominated thriller, No One Will Miss Her'Nightswimming is my favorite kind of crime novel-rich, character-driven crime that drops meright into the action. Melanie Anagnos beautifully conjures a 1970s Paterson, New Jersey thatfeels so lived in, I practically teleported. This is just the best kind of noir-a crime as complexand relevant today as it ever was, a world where one good man can still make a difference. Icannot wait to dive back into the world of Jamie Palmieri!'-Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde'... all the intrigue, twists, turns, and danger one would hope for in a great crime novel. Anagnoshas written a compassionate, emphatic, sweet and sexy protagonist who I not only like butlove...A page turner is an understatement. Nightswimming pulls you in and doesn’t let you go.'-Patricia TM Dunn, author of the award-winning novel, Her Father’s Daughter
