In See Also ProofMarjorie Trumaine, a freelance indexer from rural North Dakota in the 1960s, risks her life to help local law enforcement track down a missing, disabled girl.

Dickinson, North Dakota, 1965. It's a harsh winter, and freelance indexer Marjorie Trumaine struggles to complete a lengthy index while mourning the recent loss of her husband, Hank. The bleakness of the weather seems to compound her grief, and then she gets more bad news: a neighbor's fourteen-year-old disabled daughter, Tina Rinkerman, has disappeared. Marjorie joins Sheriff Guy Reinhardt in the search for the missing girl, and their investigation quickly leads to the shocking discovery of a murdered man near the Rinkermans' house. What had he been doing there? Who would have wanted him dead? And, above all, is his murder connected to Tina's disappearance? Their pursuit of answers will take Marjorie all the way to the Grafton State School, some six hours away, where Tina lived until recently. And the information she uncovers there raises still more questions. Will the murderer come after Marjorie now that she knows a long-hidden secret? 

The book is currently available for pre-order online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Walmart, among others

PRAISE
 
“Marjorie [Trumaine] is a wonderful character.” — Publishers Weekly

“[Sweazy’s] best-plotted yet. A sensitive dramatization of both the value and the sometimes-high cost of being a good neighbor.”  -Kirkus
Praise for the previous Marjorie Trumaine novels:

“Brimming with atmosphere and filled with well-drawn characters, See Also Deception is bound to delight mystery readers everywhere. Marjorie Trumaine rings as solid and true as any heroine ever created.”
  —SUSAN CRANDALL, bestselling author of f Whistling Past the Graveyard 

 “[A] terrific first in a projected series... The characters are superbly drawn, and the prairie—its flatness, winds, and critters—is an evocative character in its own right.”  -- Publishers Weekly -- STARRED REVIEW
