The Fred Carver Mysteries, Volume Two

The second set of crime thrillers starring a tough Florida PI from the New York Times–bestselling author of Single White Female.

Flame: When his newest client is killed in a car explosion only minutes after hiring him, Carver learns the man may not have been whom he claimed. Bloodfire: Carver is hired by a distraught husband to find his missing wife-a heroin addict who fled with nearly $10,000. But when the terrified woman begs Carver for protection, the truth about his client's motives comes out, and now both of them must go on the run. Hot: After an old man tells Carver a tale of his wealthy neighbor in the Florida Keys using a yacht to smuggle cocaine, he turns up dead, the victim of a suspicious hit-and-run, and it's up to the PI to bring his killers to justice.
