Synopsis

A Searing Psychological Spiritual Thriller! The scratch of a single match--spark, heat, chemical reaction, fire being born--and an intense thriller begins. "Deep, edgy, and smart, Burnt Offerings is a searing page-turner. Don't miss this stellar outing from a truly fine writer." Lisa Unger
"If you like crime writing with depth, suspense, and sterling prose, you should be reading Michael Lister. BUNRT OFFERINGS is a compelling blend of fascinating forensics, sinister twists, full-blooded characters, and beautiful writing. Beneath it all is a core that offers far more than thrills--a meditation on faith, psychology, and the human struggle." Michael Koryta˃˃˃ Terror reigns over the North Florida National Forest, the coastal town of Bayshore, and the barrier island of Pine Key--a fiery terror whose flame threatens to consume the whole world.An exacting and methodical killer whose weapon is fire is working on his masterpiece, and only a wounded and scarred FDLE agent and a retired ritual crimes expert hiding from the world in a cabin in the woods have any hope of stopping him.Rich and textured, yet fast-paced and pulse-pounding, BURNT OFFERINGS will leave you breathless right up until its heart-stopping conclusion."A psychopath, who burns people alive as part of a twisted sacrificial rite, terrorizes north Florida in Lister's suspenseful serial killer thriller, Burnt Offerings. The murderer's motive is not typical, and the leads are strong enough to warrant a series." Publisher's Weekly"Lister tells a multilayered story about an FDLE agent who teams up with an expert in ritual crimes to stop a murderer who uses fire as his weapon. Grisly and gripping, the novel should appeal to crime-fiction fans of many stripes, especially readers of Florida-themed fiction." BooklistLister writes lyrical, evocative prose, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy - Panama City News Herald.
