Out Now: The Swamp Killers
Things are changing rapidly these days because of COVID-19. Tonight, New York closed its restaurants (except for takeout and delivery), bars, and gyms. Museums were shut down last week. Fortunately, books never expire, and they’re great company in a quarantine. I’m thrilled to say that THE SWAMP KILLERS: A NOVEL IN STORIES is out today […]

Travel Update

So much has changed since then, with the relentless march of COVID-19 across the US. This morning, the Virginia Festival of the Book canceled this year’s festival.

What a Decade!
I’ve been offline for much of December, but I’ve still seen plenty of retrospectives. And they’re not just memorializing the past year, but the last decade. It’s been a wonderful ride for me. In 2010, I published my debut novel, THE DAMAGE DONE, which went on the win the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. […]

Great Publishers Weekly Review for DON’T LOOK DOWN

Here’s an excerpt: “Davidson keeps the reader guessing to the satisfying conclusion. Crime fiction fans will welcome this tale of family, secrets, […]

Kirkus Weighs in on DON’T LOOK DOWN
Waiting for reviews is always stressful, so this first trade review of DON’T LOOK DOWN made my day! Here’s a little bit of what Kirkus had to say: “A blackmail plot produces complications upon complications in a story of sex trafficking, class wars, and stolen identities… such a satisfying page-turner.” Read the full piece here. I’m […]

Where to Find Me at Bouchercon
It’s that time of year again! Bouchercon will be held in Dallas, Texas, this fall, and “Denim, Diamonds & Death” will mark the 50th anniversary of the world’s biggest crime-fiction convention. It will be my 10th consecutive year attending (I may be a lifer at this point) and I’m looking forward to it. Here’s where […]
