Remer was an effective Manhattan P.I. until one of his targets found a nasty way to force him into an early retirement. Since then, he has been living an anonymous life, running a liquor store in Southampton, and doing his best to stay in the shadows without ties to anyone or anything. Then a voice from his past reaches out for help, and he agrees to work one last case---a missing person---in order to escape the threat he’s lived under for six years.
Trouble is, even if he finds Mia Ferrara, even if she’s safe, that might not be enough.
Shamus Award winner Daniel Judson’s irresistible noir styling and impeccably drawn heroes---so beset and so human---make Voyeur his most searing thriller yet.

From Booklist
Darkness. Cold. Bitter wind. These are the backdrops—they’re almost characters—in this grim tale of betrayal, revenge, and pain. There’s no humor in Judson’s bleak story, no stylistic turns. Just a relentless account of one fellow’s attempt to stay alive when everything, including the elements, turns against him. Remer—the only name we have—is a keyhole-peeping PI in Manhattan when someone he’s spied on tortures him so brutally he is put out of business. We rejoin him as a liquor-store owner in Southampton, hiding in darkness. The fates aren’t done with him. Remer is asked to solve a missing-persons case, but he does it too well. A pounding or two later he realizes that he was meant to be part of the crime, not its solution. The bad guys are put out of business, finally, but Remer isn’t consoled: he’s lost too much. The only surcease from pain comes in a personal relationship with a warm girl who lives upstairs. Noir fans will find this novel a bracing jolt of icy air. --Don Crinklaw
Review
Advance Praise for Voyeur
“Judson hits you with a 25,000-volt stun gun in chapter one and doesn’t let up until the satisfying end.”
---Alafair Burke, author of 212
Praise for The Violet Hour
“Shamus winner Judson once again successfully mines Long Island’s South Fork for glittering noir nuggets.”
---Publishers Weekly
“Set around Halloween, this well-written and compelling noir will appeal to fans of J. A. Jance, Martha Powers, and Peter Abrahams.”
---Library Journal
Praise for The Water’s Edge
“Daniel Judson is so much more than a crime-fiction novelist. He’s a tattooed poet, a mad philosopher of the Apocalypse fascinated with exploring the darkest places in people’s souls.”
---Chicago Tribune
Praise for The Darkest Place
“A searing, brooding look at the bleak side of the Hamptons . . . an intense novel.”
---South Florida Sun-Sentinel
“Action packed. Loss and redemption rule in Shamus Award--winning Daniel Judson’s third novel, set in Southampton nights so cold that they could cool off a reader sizzling in this summer’s heat. It’s noir on ice.”
---USA Today

As with any fiction writer, all the characters have similar thought processes and motivations, Daniel is no different, and I'm fine with that, because I like his character, in all its many guises. Like Elmore Leonard and several others, the common theme of lives forged in the crucible of crime and corruption that rise from the slag more human than before, more compassionate than before, is the stuff that rings true since the old testament

What You See Can Kill You In Daniel Judson's Violent Mystery, "Voyeur"
By J. B. Hoyos
Manhattan PI Remer was a professional voyeur who was paid to spy on adulterous spouses. One night, while tailing a mark, he was ambushed by four thugs who took him to a warehouse. Bound to a chair, hands tied behind his back with wire, Remer screamed with agony as a soldering iron carved a word into his chest. It was a word intended to be a constant reminder of what he was: a voyeur.
Six years later, the word has been surgically removed from Remer's chest; however, the emotional and physical scars remain. No longer a PI, Remer is now the owner of a lucrative liquor store in Southampton Village. A friend, Detective Kay Barton, begs him to locate a missing heiress, Mia Ferrara. Soon, Remer becomes entangled in a bloody web of deception and betrayal.
Once again, Daniel Judson has supplied his fans with another violent crime noir set in the Hamptons of Long Island. "Voyeur" is populated by beautiful women and large, masculine men. There are the requisite female fatale, the badass hit man, and the attractive girl who is fleeing from her problems. An action-packed crime fantasy (intended chiefly for men), "Voyeur" is a quick read.
Like Judson's previous thriller, "The Violet Hour," the atmospheric setting in "Voyeur" is one of desolation, isolation and coldness. The tourists are gone. Many homes are closed and abandoned because of the winter season and the depressed economy. However, not all is bleak; there is the scattering of Christmas decorations. Most all of the novel's present action occurs during the Christmas season though the main characters aren't strict observers of this sacred holiday.
Remer reminds me of Cal Rakowski, the young mechanic in "The Violet Hour." Both men have soft hearts, which prove to be their downfalls; they also help pregnant women in locating missing girls who are troubled. Along the way, they are terrorized by thugs and a female fatale. However, unlike Rakowski, Remer is older and more experienced at defending himself.
A former marine, Remer is large and handsome. He once worked as a detective for a law firm before becoming a PI. He has all the state-of-the-art spying equipment. He also has a Glock with a silencer and uses it to obtain revenge on the Frenchman who scarred him. I can't judge him; I probably would've craved vengeance myself. The Frenchman deserved it.
Do I admire Remer? Most men would. Like James Bond, he's had sexual relations with every beautiful woman in the plot: Kay Barton, Mia Ferrara, and Angela Syc (pronounced "sigh."). The only other female lead, Casey Collins, is a bartender and a boxer who knocks him unconscious. She leaves him for dead in the cold and snow; however, when Remer knocks out two assailants, he takes measures to ensure they are found. For that, I admire him.
Remer becomes involved with the very strange, very disturbed Ferrara family. One or more of its members suffers from a mental illness termed narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Victims of child abuse, they have low self-esteem and are jealous of others. Consequently, they often lie and fantasize in order to appear special or important; they also manipulate friends and family in an effort to achieve material goals.
Voyeurism can be deceptive; voyeurism can be dangerous. On several occasions, it almost gets Remer killed. While reading "Voyeur," I kept thinking of the hit 1984 song, "Somebody's Watching Me," sung by R&B artist Rockwell. The novel, like the song, deals with the theme of paranoia and how it can manipulate our perception of reality. Paranoia, in the case of someone with NPD, can be detrimental. However, it can make one be more careful as in the case of Remer when he is investigating.
Daniel Judson's "Voyeur" is highly recommended for fans of crime noir. It is best read around Christmas. Other gritty, violent mysteries involving gangsters, mobsters, hit men and/or thugs are: the novels of Stuart Neville ("The Ghosts of Belfast" and "Collusion"), David J. Schow's "Internecine," Blake Crouch's "Snowbound," Brian M. Wiprud's "Buyback" and Thomas Kaufman's "Drink the Tea."
