Burnt Offerings

By: Michael Lister

Narrated by: Darren Todd

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.

Critic reviews

"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." (Booklist)

"Lister writes lyrical, evocative prose, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy." (Panama City News Herald)
