Burn: A Crime Novel

In California the hills are on fire. Not a good sign for Andrew Kindler, who just came from back east to get away from his past--as an arsonist. In fact, almost from the moment he sets foot in his cousin's Santa Monica beach house, the heat starts swirling around him. First there's the cop who thinks Andrew might know something about a murder suspect. Then there's the suspect's beautiful sister, who is willing to pay Andrew $5,000 for the same information.But Andrew really uninformed. And with a sensational murder case burning a hole in the gut of the LAPD--as well as the star-studded L.A. fitness industry--ignorance is dangerous. Now Andrew must solve a murder he knows nothing about, find a killer he's never met, and unravel a family's explosive secret. His reward for success? To live another day: one step ahead of his burning past... "An exceptionally well-crafted and well-told tale of arson, police work, misplaced zeal, bad relationships, good relationships, family bonds and, oh yes, exercise videos. Quirky, compelling, intelligent, and funny ... If you like Elmore Leonard, do yourself a favor and pick up BURN."--Lincoln Journal Star "A cult writer for the masses--hip, smart and so mordantly funny that the casual reader might be laughing too hard to realize just how thoughtful Doolittle's work is. Get on the bandwagon now."--Laura Lippman, author of By a Spider's Thread "Sean Doolittle combines wit, good humor, and a generosity of spirit rare in mystery fiction to create novels that are both engrossing and strangely uplifting. He deserves to take his place among the best in the genre."--John Connolly, author of The White Road"An estimable addition not only to the publisher's list but also to crime fiction ... Doolittle delivers a briskly plotted, hard-boiled mystery that has its roots in the Elmore Leonard school of dark comedy."--South Florida Sun-SentinelGold medal winner for mystery in ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year AwardA Best Crime Fiction of 2003 pick from January Magazine From the Paperback edition.
