How can I scan a bunch of negatives and slides?
Episode 1134 (30:17)
Neil from San Diego, CA
Neil has a ton of family photographs that he'd like to digitize and share with the family, but he's not very computer literate. That's why Leo says to get a service to do it for him. Or he could get a computer and a negative and slide scanner. The Epson V600 Photo Scanner can do it, and it's $229. He'll want one that does 600 DPI or better and does negatives, slides, and prints. The modern Epson scanners will scan to the cloud and he could store them directly to Flickr or Microsoft's One Drive. That way they're in the cloud where family and friends can download them. But by the time he pays for all that, and factors in his time, he may as well have a service like Scan Cafe do it. They will also clean the negatives, color correct them, and scan them to him on CD. It's a great way to do it.
If he still wants to do it himself, Lomography makes a great smartphone film scanner. It does both negatives and slides. Nikon also makes a dedicated film scanner.
Chris Marquardt says that with that many slides and negatives, he'd have someone else do it because of error clean up and scratch removal. 5-10 minutes for one single image would just take too long. So he uses a service to do that work. It's worth the time and money. What does he scan at? Chris uses 1500-2000 for slides and negatives. 600-1200 for prints. But most values for scanning don't really do that and doing too much DPI just blows it up more than actually getting better resolution.
Chris says another option is to get a light table and then shoot it with a DSLR and a Macro lens. Then he'd get a 21mp image of his negative/slide.

Apex Legends is available on PC via the Origin store and you can download it now for free. If you are having some issues running the game at 60 FPS on your system then you have come to the right place as here we are going to look into the different Apex Legends settings and talk about how you can run the game at 60 FPS. With this Apex Legends PC optimization guide, you should be able to double your FPS.
We can see that the Apex Legends PC optimization is rather decent and that you do not need a lot of graphics power in order to run the game from what we can see from the recommended specs. You can make do with a GTX 970 which is 2 generations old. This is not something out of the ordinary as online multiplayer games are not too graphics intensive except for PUBG of course.
There are no presets and you need to change the settings manually. At least that is the case in the current build. The FPS is capped at 144, which should be enough for most people but people that want to take advantage of their 240 Hz monitors might be disappointed. This is a new game, so give it time. We might get uncapped FPS in an upcoming update.
We used a GTX 1060 6 GB for our tests and this is a fairly decent graphics card for this kind of game. Not to mention that this was the most popular card in the Pascal generation. The card was paired with an Intel 8100 CPU and 16 GB of RAM. The following is the difference between max settings and low or disabled.
Anti-aliasing: Changing this setting from TSAA to none will give you 3% better performance in Apex Legends.
Texture Streaming Budget: Dropping this setting from insane to none will give you a performance gain of 6%.
Texture Filtering: Changing this setting from16x anisotropic filtering to bilinear filtering improves performance about 6%.
Ambient Occlusion Quality: Changing this setting from high to disabled improves performance by about 15%.
Sun Shadow Coverage: Changing this setting from high to low improves performance by 3%.
Sun Shadow Detail: Changing this setting from high to low improves performance by 3%.
Spot Shadow Detail: Disable this setting and you will get a performance bump of 3% in Apex Legends.
Volumetric Lighting: Disable the god rays in order to get a 6% boost in performance.
Model Detail: Dropping this setting to low increases performance by 6%.
Resolution: Your monitor's native resolution.
Apex Legends PC optimization seems decent from what we see here. Unless you have a really entry-level graphics card, you should be able to play the game with all settings maxed out.
Here we can see that turning the graphics down can result in significant performance gains and you will be able to play the game even if you have a GTX 1050 Ti.
Here again, we see impressive Apex Legends PC optimization. These are higher end cards but you can expect to hit 60 FPS at 1440p with the GTX 1070 Ti and the RTX 2060.
Turning up the resolution to 4K gives us an even better understanding of Apex Legends PC optimization. We can see that the RTX 2080 and GTX 1080 Ti are able to run the game at 4K 60 FPS. If you have a GTX 1080 then you also might be able to run the game at 4K 60 FPS if you turn down the settings.
Let us know what you think about Apex Legends PC Optimization and what your experience has been like so far.
Uhm, I run 65-80 fps with a gtx 1050 ti. Not sure why it says 56…even while in fights its above 60. Just wanted to clear that out if anyone is having doubts about the gtx 1050 ti.
You can try running the game with all settings turned to low and then turn settings up one by one. You can check out the recommended settings for the GTX 1060 and adjust accordingly.

'Experience Hendrix' Brings Explosion of Guitars to Mondavi Center
Paul Piazza
Paul Piazza beetseekingmissile
Jimi Hendrix has influenced a generation of guitarists, both during his life and afterwards. Nearly 50 years after his death in 1970, he continues to influence armies of new players as well as challenge crafty vets who are trying to master one of his many gems.
At any given moment, it wouldn't be unusual to overhear a beginning guitarist attempting to learn how to strum the bluesy lick from "Hey Joe." This has been going on for many years.
So it was a great celebration when the 'Experience Hendrix' tour recently dropped into the Mondavi Center at U.C. Davis–its third time in the last six years.
The tour, which has taken place almost every other year for the past two decades, has always featured some of the most accomplished guitarists on the planet doing interpretations of many of the legend's most memorable tunes.
It must be said that the last two were great, but featured performances from Zakk Wylde and Buddy Guy emphasized showmanship over sound. While both excel in those areas, it was great to experience a year where sound was the main focus. The showmanship was still exceptional but didn't feature a 20 minute noodling solo on "Purple Haze" by Wylde as he roamed the crowd. Instead we got about three more songs articulated in that space.
It's considered an honor to play this gig and all of these touring musicians rearrange their busy schedules to fit into part or all of this tour and the resulting groups have always included a stunning array of players. This year's group was one of the strongest to date. They may also may have been the best sounding to date, with excellent guitar rig set-ups for all of the players by their guitar techs.
The Davis show featured an avalanche of unbelievable talent on guitar including Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Dweezil Zappa, Ana Popovic. Jonny Lang and Doyle Bramhill II. Two incredible drummers were featured: Chris Layton well-known from his days with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Kenny Aronoff, who has toured with musicians ranging from John Fogerty to the Smashing Pumpkins.
Leading the whole show on stage was bassist Billy Cox, who first started gigging with Hendrix when they were in the Army at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The two later teamed up again in Band of Gypsies with drummer Buddy Miles. After Hendrix died, Cox went on to tour and record with artists ranging from Jackie Wilson to Charlie Daniels to Etta James.
At 79 years old, Cox can still hold his own on the stage and he played on about one-third of the tunes on this night. Cox looks great and is a treasure trove of Hendrix anecdotes and musical experiences.
Naturally, many people attend to hear what some of the all-time great guitar shredders will do with these songs and the result is often incredible. Eric Johnson did a wicked take on "Are You Experienced?" that utilized feedback, tone and incredible technique. He also parsed in some of his own distinctive style.
Dweezil Zappa sat in with both Johnson and the amazing Ana Popovic and performed with excellence in both instances. He was particularly great going toe-to-toe with Johnson on "Bold as Love."
Doyle Bramill II came out and did it solo with a greasy version of "Hear My Train A Comin'" and the frequent Eric Clapton sideman also played a delicate and beautiful version of "Angel." Great work from a quietly amazing guitarist who shares his Austin roots with Johnson.
The night was divided into two parts with Layton handling the drum duties incredibly well during the first part of the show and the beginning part of the second. Afterwards, Kenny Aronoff stepped in for the final part which had King's X legend Dug Pinnick on bass and vocals and Joe Satriani coming in to close out on guitar. They exploded onto the scene with "Crosstown Traffic" and closed with extreme fireworks from Satriani on "Voodoo Chile (Slight return.)"
There could have been a third, fourth and even fifth part of this night because there are so many Hendrix songs worth taking on, but alas the show was over after three hours. The entire cast came out for a bow and lots of people left the venue buzzing about what an insanely good guitar show they had just seen.

La Honda VFR 750R (nome in codice RC 30) è un motociclo da competizione prodotto dalla casa motociclistica giapponese Honda tra il 1987 e il 1990.

Presentata nel 1987 alla 8 ore di Suzuka, viene considerata come una delle prime e più veloci "super bike".

Descrizione e contesto

La moto, che è una sportiva della famiglia VFR, dotata di un propulsore dalla cilindrata di 748 cm³ a quattro cilindri. La VFR 750R prende il nome dal suo motore V4 avente angolo tra le bancate di 90°, con distribuzione ad ingranaggi che muovono i doppio albero a camme in testa e le 16 valvole. Il quattro cilindri ha un alesaggio di 70,0 mm e una corsa di 48,6 mm, con un rapporto di compressione di 11:1.

La VFR 750R è essenzialmente una motocicletta da competizione completamente carenata e monoposto, creata principalmente per scopi di omologazione per partecipare al Campionato Mondiale Superbike dalla divisione Honda Racing Corporation (HRC). È stata introdotta per la prima volta sul mercato giapponese nel 1987, in Europa nel 1988 e poi negli Stati Uniti nel 1990. Ne sono stati prodotti solo 3.000 esemplari.

Tecnica e meccanica
Il propulsore da 748 cm³ a 16 valvole a ingranaggi con doppio albero a camme in testa raffreddato a liquido denominato RC24 V4 da 90°, produceva 75,94 CV (56,63 kW) a 9500 giri/min per il modello giapponese e 118 CV (88 kW) a 11000 giri/min in quelli d'esportazione. Molte parti e componentistica era realizzata appositamente per questa moto, come le bielle in titanio che riducevano il peso e gli alberi a camme azionati da ingranaggi. L'ordine d'accensione del motore era diversa dalla VFR 750F stradale, con una disposizione dei perni di biella-manovella a 360° invece che a 180°. Questa caratteristica produceva una erogazione molto migliore della potenza ed era accoppiata ad un cambio a rapporti ravvicinati che aveva però una prima marcia molto lunga che arrivava fino a 82 mph (120 km/h). La frizione era antisaltellamento.

La frizione, il cambio, l'albero motore, la pompa dell'olio, le bielle, la pompa dell'acqua, i pistoni, motorino di avviamento, l'intero corredo valvole e le testate erano specifici per l'RC30.

Il limitatore era posto a 12500 giri al minuto (rispetto alla VFR 750F che l'aveva a 11000 giri al minuto). Durante i test delle riviste di settore, ha percorso il 1/4 di miglio in 11,8 secondi.

L'avantreno, con la sospensione anteriore della RC30 che venne realizzata dalla Showa, aveva ruote e pastiglie dei freni con attacchi a sgancio rapido. Al posteriore c'era un forcellone monobraccio (originariamente brevettato dalla ELF of France) e fissato con un singolo dado a corona. Era inoltre dotata di sospensioni Showa regolabili. Il motore e la posizione di del serbatoio del carburante erano collocati in posizione ribassata per ridurre il baricentro e migliorare la manovrabilità. Quest'ultimo era in lega leggera, mentre la carrozzeria efa in fibra di vetro. Il sistema di scarico 4-2-1 era completamente in acciaio inossidabile.

Attività sportiva

Fred Merkel ha vinto i campionati piloti e costruttori due volte consecutivamente, nell'edizione inaugurale del Campionato Mondiale Superbike nel 1988 e nell'anno successivo.

Ha vinto anche due volte il Gran Premio di Macao, nel 1989 con Robert Dunlop e l'anno seguente con Steve Hislop.

Helmut Dähne nel 1993 ha stabilito il miglior tempo sul giro su una moto al Nordschleife, con un tempo di 7:49:710.

Travel planning may seem like a simple task until you and your family end up stranded.
En español | Using a travel agent may seem old school when you can research nearly any destination online. But nearly one in four U.S. travelers rely on travel agents, according to the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), whose members tend to prefer titles such as travel adviser, vacation planner and travel consultant. The adviser's job: Provide insider knowledge that reduces your stress, cuts your costs and helps you enjoy a memorable trip.
The more complex your itinerary, the more valuable their services become, says Sam McCully, senior vice president of marketing at Avoya Travel in San Diego.
Here's what travel advisers say they can do for you.
It sounds contradictory: Travel advisers charge a fee, but they can also save you cash — $452 per trip, on average, according to ASTA. Fees typically range from $50 to several hundred dollars, ASTA says, depending on the complexity of the request. If the agent books you a flight to Cleveland, say, it can cost as little as $25, but if you've asked her to plan a six-country multigenerational vacation through Europe, she'll obviously charge more. Some consultants charge a flat rate; others, a percentage of the total trip cost. The prices vary from company to company.
The fees are offset by the travel planners' getting you bigger discounts than you can find on your own. Advisers are deal hunters, McCully points out — they know where to look, and they often have preferred rates and insider info. Many of them are affiliated with a network such as Virtuoso (which has 16,000-plus agents) or Signature Travel Network (more than 7,000 agents). "The larger they are, the more buying power they have," says Kimberly Wilson Wetty, whose New York City firm, Valerie Wilson Travel, is a member of Virtuoso. That means that agents in those networks can score cool perks for clients, such as free breakfasts, Wi-Fi and hotel-room upgrades. And if you're crunched for time, consultants can save you about four hours in trip planning, from conducting research to booking rental cars, tours and flights, according to ASTA.
When there's a problem with a flight, dealing with an airline can feel like torture. "If there's an error with a reservation booked online, you'll spend hours on the phone or you'll shell out additional money," says Lauren Cardinale, a luxury-travel adviser from Atlanta. Vacation planners work as your advocate to resolve problems quickly, which can be vital to those with disabilities or language barriers. And most agencies offer 24/7 service, so don't leave without the number.
Some advisers try to prevent problems from happening at all. In winter, Lesley Egbert, owner of Live Longitude (an Avoya affiliate) in Helena, Mont., avoids booking flight connections at airports where snowstorms are likely. Most people aren't thinking about blizzards when they're planning travel in June, but no grandparent wants to be stranded at Chicago O'Hare with multiple grandchildren for hours. Travel advisers think ahead about scenarios like this.
Travel consultants are travelers, too, and they share their information with colleagues. Wilson Wetty's agency compiles adviser info into a database that's available to its planners nationwide. When she talks with a client about Rome, she can search the database and access hot new restaurants or updates at hotels.
That personal knowledge means a consultant understands your needs. Maybe you have allergies. Maybe you want hotel rooms away from the elevator. Some planners, including Harrison, provide surprises for clients, such as tickets to a cool exhibit. She also helps clients think ahead by creating a three- to five-year travel plan. For clients, it's a way to set goals and plan accordingly, and it allows Harrison to take steps such as monitoring early-booking promotions.
Discuss: Do you use a travel agent?

Q: Topmost UITableView not receiving touch events I have two UITableViews in my view controller, both of them are loaded through container views, more or less the structure described below.
UIView
  - UIView "Header view" (No issues with this one)
    - UIStackview
  - Container view
    - UITableView "Table view 1"
  - UIView "Footer view"
    - UIStackview
      - ...
    - Container view (Initially off screen)
      - UITableView "Table view 2"

In the viewDidLoad function of "Table view 2", I'm connecting to the backend server to fetch some data. In the completion handler, the table view ("Table view 2") is populated and the "footer view" becomes draggable and gravity is applied to it (via a delegate function to the parent view controller).
In detail, a UIDynamicAnimator, UIDynamicItemBehavior, UIGravityBehavior, UICollisionBehavior, UITapGestureRecognizer as well as aUIPanGestureRecognizer is added to the footer view, to enable the user to drag it up from the bottom and see the entries. The dragging itself, as well as the gravity is working exactly as expected, however when I try to scroll the table view ("Table view 2"), the "Table view 1" is receiving the touch events.
Side note: for some reason I need to call [self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.footerView]; in the viewDidLoad function, otherwise the footer view is presented below the "table view 1" sometimes. Maybe this is related, but I don't know how to solve it.
I have tried a bunch of stuff without success. Any help is appreciated!
Clarification:
The expected behavior is to only scroll the table view that is located in the footer view (i.e. "table view 2"), but the actual behavior is that the other table view ("table view 1") is being scrolled. I have also tried wrapping the UIStackview into another UIView and adding the tap and pan gesture recognizes to that instead, with the same result.

Rep. Delia Ramirez updates Chicago Grand Neighbors Association regarding Illinois government
Delia Ramirez commiserates with a constituent about property taxes
"What do you want me to think about and take with me to the January and February sessions in Springfield," asked Representative Delia Ramirez, Illinois House 4th district, at the Chicago Grand Neighbors Association (CGNA) members at their Sept. 24 meeting in OutPut Lounge, 1758 W. Grand Ave.
In office for nine months, Ramirez said that she has been able to pass seven pieces of legislation and one resolution. Those are the result of many hours she has spent working on a long list of issues and situations.
The resolution is around having health clinics in our schools and names next February as school based health clinics month. "We have one school on the western side of the District that provides onsite five-days a week clinic, but more schools should have them."
In the war against homelessness, Ramirez introduced Illinois House Bill (IHB) 3331, which passed into law Mar. 29. It This amends the Homeless Prevention Act, expanding case management and support.
"It expands the resources provided to people who are at risk of losing their house. If you are experiencing homelessness it is much harder for you to stabilize and be able to secure permanent housing, let alone what it does to the kids as they move from shelter to shelter," Ramirez explained.
"This bill allows for looking at why people are experiencing this and how do we make sure we are providing the most support possible to stabilize them.
"Seventy-eight percent of the people who acquire an emergency fund do not ever experience homelessness. To me that is saving $8,000 a year for services that we would have to provide."
IHB 3711 amends the Equitable Restrooms Act. All public restrooms must provide baby changing stations. "Mothers and fathers are able to have that basic amenity to change a baby's diaper safely," said Ramirez.
Other legislation she has been working on is around the open meetings act, women's rights, minimum wage and the legalization of cannabis.
Ramirez made it clear that around various legislation other considerations must be considered. Small businesses and not-for-profits, for example must be considered when looking at the issue of minimum wage. Around the issue of marijuana and cannabis are issues such as of equity and licensing.
Technically a "freshman and a half" (one week seniority over 28 other house representatives.), she now may serve as a vice-chair and is so doing for the Adoption & Child Welfare Legislative Committee.
Under that committee three working groups are looking at the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) regarding what is working and what is not. Ramirez is heading one of them, the Task Force for Children of the Incarcerated.
She noted that 200,000 children in Illinois have a parent incarcerated. Of those children, 25% are under DCFS care. Evidenced by the many deaths of children under DCFS care, the work groups have a lot of work to do.
That work includes bringing various departments and organizations together to address the problems and find solutions. Ramirez explained that despite the hard work, "it is difficult to get things accomplished in Springfield."
When the big jump in property taxes was brought up, Ramirez, sits of the Property Tax Relief Task Force, suggested that everyone carefully look at their tax bills. One resident indicated that according to his bill, the size of his lot had increased as had his property tax.
Court advocate Lauren Young reported on a case regarding car
"Davontae Jones and Jason Dortch were charged federally for their 2017 carjacking that resulted in the crash of a stolen Jeep. While they were only charged with one count federally, they were thought to be responsible for around 36 carjackings throughout the city in 2017.
"They were sentenced to 11 years in Federal Prison, which means they will have to serve the majority of their sentence.
"There was a phone of a third offender found in the stolen vehicle belonging to Terreon Gathings. He was not charged federally, and his case for this particular incident was "Nolle Prosequi". He is, however, still involved in another case, involving another carjacking as well as attempted murder from another district. That case is ongoing."
West Town Library's Manager Stephanie Flinchbaugh talked about their seasonal programming including book clubs and a green walk.
There were cheers from people in the room when she announced that the first phase of renovation for the building was complete. The second phase is to be in the spring when the windows are repaired. The third phase is removing the scaffolding, which has been obscuring the front of the building for more than four years.
While Flinchbaugh was eager to tell everyone about a big new announcement affecting the entire Chicago Public Library system, she said that the Mayor will be making a big announcement next week.

The Evolution of Marching – 1999-2004 [VIDEO]
May 28, 2010 Joel Wagner Music Education 0
As we close out the school year and begin looking toward the summer, band directors turn their minds toward marching arts.
This year, I'm going through some history and exploring The Evolution of Marching via YouTube. I'm taking you along for the journey as well. As we moved into the new millennium, the color guard moved further from the hornline and drumline as far as uniforms, but began to interact much more with the individual members. Where the early 90s has included an occasional soloist interacting with the guard, now large groups of the hornline were doing full out ballet moves and poses throughout the shows.
Though it had been before, the marching show is now even more dance- and entertainment-oriented and becomes more of a full out production rather than just musical entertainment.
1999 – Blue Devils/Santa Clara Vanguard
While the Blue Devils were performing at their very first show of the 1999 season, the lights in the stadium and the entire city of Concord, CA went out. The Blue Devils continued marching. This video was posted on YouTube less than a week ago.

Joel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.

Telecom minister Kapil Sibal has done a fine job of outlining the contours of what India wants its telecom future to look like. While there are many strands to the policy that Sibal announced, a few stand out. One, there will be one licence for all services (an Internet provider can provide voice services, and vice versa); there will be no roaming charges eventually (while Shourie began the universal licence trend by combining fixed and mobile services in one licence, Maran's OneIndia plan almost ended the difference between STD and local calls); there will be a separate Network Service Operator (an Alcatel can buy spectrum and allow telcos to use its network to connect their clients at lower rates since larger spectrum allows dramatically lower costs); most important, 300 MHz of spectrum will be provided by 2017 and another 200 MHz by 2020. Goodbye high-cost spectrum, goodbye call drops!
As always, the devil lies in the details, and Trai will be asked to float discussion papers on the way forward, before making its recommendations. Consider a few pitfalls along the way. One licence for all services sounds good, but does this mean that Internet providers also need to have rollout obligations now?; one licence means there will be one uniform licence fee, but what will this be—Trai is in favour of 6%, but the DoT favours a higher one and surely mobile firms who will lose 7.5% of revenues with the zero-roaming scheme will need compensation; allowing sharing of networks is an idea that's long overdue, but consider the government is currently taking action against telcos who are sharing their 3G networks even though this was very clearly allowed when the auctions were done. When Trai wants 74 of Raja's 122 licences to be cancelled, it's not clear what Sibal meant when he said an exit policy would be framed—in keeping with this was Sibal's grandiose statement that revenue generation would not be the cornerstone of the new policy (was he once again reiterating his there-was-no-loss theory?). Similarly, while 'right to broadband' is a laudable objective, and the minister even spoke of tackling the right-of-way problem in various states, he said nothing of asking BSNL/MTNL to open up their networks which will make broadband provision easier. Given the poor pace of getting government agencies to vacate spectrum so far, it's not clear whether the spectrum promise will be met. Sibal's real job will be done when he irons out the fineprint.

Crime Song
by David Swinson
David Swinson returns with a thrillingly dark novel, featuring Frank Marr, 'a masterly piece of characterisation.' (Tana French)
Frank Marr was a good cop with a bad habit. Now forced to retire from the Washington D.C police, he scrapes a living as a private investigator.
His latest case is personal – Frank's cousin Jeffrey is involved with a drugs operation. But when Jeffery's body is turns up in Frank's house, it's clear he was in deeper than anyone realized.
Stolen from the scene are Frank's revolver – the murder weapon – and his cherished music collection. With his reputation on the line, Frank is as determined to uncover the truth as he is to feed his habit, and both pursuits could prove deadly.

WHSmith.co.uk
David Swinson is one of the most exciting new voices to come along in crime fiction in this decade, and CRIME SONG is Exhibit A of his remarkable talent. Swinson's writing is heartfelt, powerful, and authentic, and Frank Marr is as fully rendered as any detective in recent memory.
Michael Koryta, bestselling author of RISE THE DARK
A gripping, authentic tale (the author is an ex-cop) of a man's journey into the heart of darkness that will appeal to fans of The Wire
A non-stop drive through American crime, punishment and even an alley or two of justice.
James Grady, author of <i>Six Days of the Condor
A down-and-dirty thriller with real heart from an author who knows what he's talking about. This is firmly in George Pelecanos territory and it doesn't get much better than that.
Imagine Philip Marlowe upped and transplanted to contemporary Washington with a mountain of stolen coke hidden in a secret safe rather than a bottle of bourbon in his desk drawer, and you're close to Frank Marr, the winningly debauched private investigator hero of this gritty thriller...A complex, vulnerable but brilliant creation, with a unique personal morality, his spare narration is laced with wry humour but entirely lacking in self-pity.
Crime Scene Magazine
Praise for The Second Girl
David Swinson pulls off a masterly piece of characterization...The writing throws sparks, and the ferocious plot peels back layer after layer of Frank's character as we - and he - find out how much of his humanity is still left.
Tana French
Marr is one of the most compelling and complex protagonists to come along in years. And, not content with just creating a memorable hero, author Swinson also offers up a breakneck plot...Reminiscent of The Wire and the writing of George Pelecanos and Dennis Lehane, The Second Girl is a winner.
