The Charlie Swift series consists of three novels published between 2010 and 2012: Swift Justice, Swift Edge, and Swift Run. Charlie Swift is a former Air Force investigator who has transitioned into private detective work in Colorado, bringing her military training and contacts to bear on civilian cases. The series sits in the private eye subgenre of mystery fiction, with a more procedural edge than DiSilverio’s cozy mystery work.

The three books are best read in order, as Charlie’s character and circumstances develop across the series. Her ex-military status and the dynamics of running a small private investigation firm give the books a grounded, professional tone that distinguishes them from the lighter register of the Mall Cop Mysteries or Book Club Mysteries. Readers who prefer their mystery fiction with a strong, capable protagonist and a procedural bent will find the Charlie Swift series a natural fit.
