Product Description:
Only one thing stands between a son and his father's killer: forty years of lies..
On a remote Arizona ranch, a man who has known loss, fear, and war weeps for the first time since he was a child. His tears are for the father taken from him four decades before in a deadly shoot-out. And his grief will lead him back to the place where he was born, where his father died, and where a brutal conspiracy is about to explode.
For Bob Lee Swagger, the world changed on that hot day in Blue Eye, Arkansas, when two local boys rode armed and wild in a '55 Fairlane convertible. Swagger's father, Earl, a state trooper, was investigating the brutal murder of a young woman that day. By midnight Earl Swagger lay dead in a deserted cornfield.
Now Bob Lee wants answers. He wants to know the truth behind the shoot -out that took his father's life, a mystery buried in forty years of lies. Because for Bob Lee Swagger, the killing didn't end that day in Blue Eye, Arkansas. The killing had just begun...
Weaving together characters from his national bestsellers Point of Impact and Dirty White Boys, Stephen Hunter's gripping thriller builds to an exhilarating climax--and an explosion of gunfire that blasts open the secrets of two generations.
Amazon.com Review:
Forty years ago, Bob Lee Swagger's father, a state trooper, was killed by two robbers in an Arkansas shoot-out. Now a young writer has arrived at Swagger's door with some penetrating and troubling questions. What really happened that long-ago Arkansas night? The powers that be don't want that question answered, but Swagger, to his surprise, finds that he does -- even if it means having to use his long-abandoned combat skills and cunning to find out. Like the infrared "black light" that exposes a sniper's target in the night, Swagger homes in on the shadowy figures desperate to keep the secret of his father's murder buried.

Two words. Great book. I am a gigantic fan of all of the Swagger books by Stephen Hunter. This is actually the first book I read by him a few years ago, and when I found out there were other Earl and Bob Lee Swagger books, i read the rest of them. I'm actually reading "Black Light" for the second time, now knowing a little bit more history from all the previous swagger books. This book is great alone, or even better if your familiar with the Swagger family. My only disappointment is that there's ... Read More

Lots of great reviews with detail regarding the story line and excellence etc. So I'll keep it short. IF you enjoyed Point of Impact you will enjoy this book as much or more. If you enjoyed Dirty White Boys the same. If you enjoyed both order this book immediately and set aside time to read it nonstop.
If you have not read either book then start with Point of Impact , then DWB, then Black Light. One notable thing about this writer that either from personal experience OR research he ... Read More

I loved POI. Then I had a hard time with the brutality of DWB, but was glad I finished it. Black Light was the best of the three to me. It seamed the books together smoothly. Having Russ as a "protagonist in training" was fun. Like Russ, we could all learn the lessons of BL Swagger. Confident, realist, focused, morally anchored, and forgiving to a large degree in the faults of others.
Make sure to read the trilogy, in order, and prepare to become a Swagger groupie! I just loved the ride through these ... Read More

Earl and Bob Swagger in a great story of Heros. The combination of Point of Impact and Dirty White Boys put together in a gripping story of men. Richard (from Dirty White Boys, son of Bud Pewtie) looks for Bob Swagger to do a book on family genetics, born from good then good and vice versa. Again I hate giving anything away in books and movies so I will not give out to much story. Anyway they get together and the action begins. First going through the story of Earl and a conspiracy. Then to Bob and Richards ... Read More

Going back through some of my recent reads, I remembered that I was really happy with Stephen Hunter and his character, Bob Lee Swagger. Time to revisit both with Black Light.
The novel begins with Earl Swagger, Bob Lee's father, in 1955. Earl is a Medal of Honor recipient for his efforts in the Pacific during World War II. 1955 finds Earl on patrol as an Arkansas State Trooper. On one particular day, he finds a murdered child and later, he is gunned down in a battle with a two criminals. The Swagger ... Read More
