Swept is the operative verb in Arnold Johnston’s novel Swept Away.  The quick-witted, bantering dialogue not only gives the novel its attractively cinematic feel but also sets a pace that the narrative has to live up to, and it does. This is a novel with moves, and It is not only the characters that are swept away, but the reader, as well.
    — Stuart Dybek, MacArthur Fellowship winning author of The Coast of Chicago, Paper Lanterns, and Ecstatic Cahoots.

Swept Away is full of fun and surprises, including a play within the novel.  This eminently readable adventure is also an academic who-done-it and an exploration of the writing life—I learned a thing or two about my own craft. And in these pages, Arnold Johnston has created some of the wittiest dialogue this side of The Thin Man.
 — Bonnie Jo Campbell, Award-winning author of Once Upon a River and Mothers, Tell Your Daughters.

Arnold Johnston's Swept Away is a clever, often comic, surprise of a novel with a distinctly Detroit focus.  You won't regret giving it a read.
— Steve Hamilton, Edgar Award-winning author of Dead Man Running
