From the Inside Flap
The Bookcassette® format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.

An engaging private eye novel, Nov 26 2007
By M. C. Crammer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flame (Hardcover)
I don't know if you could really call this a mystery -- more of a thriller. The plot involves an ex-cop-with-a-limp private detective who is hired by an older man to find out why this man has been hired to impersonate someone else. Very quickly, our private detective finds himself under pressure from a lot of different directions, including criminals, government agents, and crooked cops. Although any sane person would have walked away from the situation early on, our detective (for reasons he claims are ethical concerns) continues to investigate, despite the threats to him and his girlfriend. He says it's for ethical reasons, but I personally think getting your girlfriend massacred is hardly ethical.But Lutz is a good story teller and writes well, so you keep turning the pages.
I think this is really more of a guy's thriller, and I prefer mysteries to thrillers, so I can only give this four stars.

This was just a carbon copy of the last book I read by this author. Nothing but a bunch of words.

Really Enjoyed This!, Dec 20 2011

Fred Carver isn't your typical Adonis private eye, maybe that's why I enjoy this series so much? He's human, the kind of person you'd like to drink a beer with. John Lutz does a wonderful job at drawing the reader into Fred Carver's world, I found myself laughing out loud, cringing, and wishing that the book wouldn't end. I've read all the books in this series, if you start with the first there is a lot of background information that (gratefully) isn't repeated in subsequent books.
Listmania!
