About

When a client dies in an apparent suicide, Florida detective Frank Carver suspects murder   Donna Winship is an ordinary woman with a typical problem. No longer in love with her husband, she has taken to spending evenings and long afternoons with a new man. Fearful that her husband will learn the truth and be overwhelmed with jealousy, she contacts Fred Carver, an ex-cop turned PI, and asks him to tail her. Minutes after he agrees, Donna drives her car into a speeding tractor trailer. Dead on impact.   The local police are happy to call it a suicide, but Carver is determined to serve his client, even in death. More bloodshed follows, as Donna's husband kills himself and her lover disappears without a trace. No love triangle is simple, but this one could cost Fred Carver his life.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Lutz including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.  Torch is the 8th book in the Fred Carver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Reviews

"For a long-running series, this one is still hot . . . with lots of nice noir touches to give it texture. The dialogue is brisk and brittle, the action gets nasty when it must, and the characters are as shady as the sunny climate allows."
The New York Times Book Review
"Lutz shows again why he's the current dean of American private-eye writing."
