As the last person left the room, Swinton saw the pig. His throat closed up and he gagged as the air was knocked out of his stomach.

"Holy shit," was all he managed to think at first glance. Sure, Swinton was used to gruesome scenes, but not like this.

Set in a fictional town in Montana, Swine follows serial killer Jack Webster, who turns each victim into a work of macabre art. Each display has special meaning, and two detectives must figure them out in order to catch him. But when Howard Swinton, a sore team player, alienates Wesley Harris for being a rookie, Harris is drawn into a relationship with Jack. As his convictions develop, Harris must determine whose side he's really on, while struggling with the question not just of how to catch the killer, but whether he wants the killer to be caught in the first place.
