Voyeur

One-time private investigator Remer is a man so secretive no one knows his first name.  Six years ago he was “persuaded” to trade in his prosperous career as one of New York City’s most sought-after PIs for the quieter life of proprietor of a Southampton liquor store.  Living in his small apartment on the edge of town, Remer watches always for any indication that his past is about to catch up with him, guarding himself and those few people close to him carefully.  But when he is approached by the wealthy mother of a former lover—the lover who robbed him of his savings as she fled his life two years before and is now missing—Remer has no choice but to risk exposing his past and search for the woman who has become his obsession, a woman as broken and tormented as himself.  Unable to do this alone, however, Remer must trust a former employee named Kay Barton, now a Southampton detective, and an ex-PI named Tommy Miller—a man seemingly as secretive as Remer.  Set during Christmas week, 2008, Voyeur, the conclusion of the Southampton Trilogy, was nominated for a Shamus Award for Best Novel, topped Bookreporter.com’s “Best 10 of 2010” list, and was hailed by Mystery Scene Magazine as “a dark, deft, little noir.”
