This review is from: Scorcher (Rinehart Suspense Novel) (Hardcover)

SCORCHER, the second in the Fred Carver series, is a dynamite thriller, replete with unexpected plot twists and excellently visualized characters.
Someone is killing people with a flamethrower, fashioned from a scuba diving tank. One of the victims is Fred's five year old son, Chipper. This horrible act leads Carver on a vengeance crusade. All evidence points to the schizophrenic son of a wealthy hot dog restaurant magnate. Carver insinuates his way into the investigation, and finds the Kave family has a lot of secrets. Carver's relentless pursuit for the truth--and vengeance---is detailed in great action and expository segments. A totally engaging and enjoyable novel. Look forward to reading more Carver stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lutz gets HOT again, July 3, 2000

This review is from: Scorcher (Audio Cassette)

John Lutz, who is known for well developed characters and his 'sit on the edge of your seat' suspense, has done it again. He tells the story of a serial killer who wields a homemade flame thrower fashioned from a scuba tank.

This crazed killer made the mistake of killing the son of Florida private detective Fred Carver. All of the clues point to the brilliant schizophrenic son of one Florida's wealthiest families, and when the suspect goes on the run, Carver sets out to bring him to justice dead or alive. Scorcher is an explosive, thoroughly unforgettable mystery that will leave you wanting more.
