David Swinson is the author of the popular DC crime novel: The Second Girl (a Frank Marr novel), a 2016 New York Times and Booklist best crime fiction book and Crime Song , a 2017 Boston Globe best of summer read pick.

Swinson, a retired police detective, served for sixteen years with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department. Before joining the DC police, he was a music video producer and independent filmmaker in Los Angeles. He currently lives in northern Virginia.

“Marr is easy to take, a decent guy with a sense of honor. And since Swinson is one of the best dialogue hounds in the business, Marr is blessed with some terrific street talk.”―The New York Times Book Review
