Daniel Judson’s Southampton series continues his exploration of crime and corruption on Long Island’s East End. The Darkest Place, The Water’s Edge, and Voyeur each follow different characters into dangerous situations against a backdrop of rain, fog, and the empty streets of beach towns in winter.
The series shares DNA with The Gin Palace Trilogy — the same bleak setting, the same sense that violence is always just below the surface — but each book works as a standalone. Judson’s Southampton is a place where people go to disappear, and the stories reflect that transient, haunted quality.
