'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
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.' Booklist
