What a fine book!

“Michael Lister possesses a poet’s eye, an environmentalist’s intellect, a conservationist’s fire, a North Floridian’s wisdom, and a mystery writer’s talent for intrigue. Double Exposure contains all of this and more. What a fine book!”

Connie May Fowler, author of Before Women had Wings

Double Exposure is absolutely riveting!

Bestselling Author, Michael Connelly, praises DOUBLE EXPOSURE

“Double Exposure is absolutely riveting! I sat down, plugged in and didn't get up until the last page. With elegiac prose, insightful characterization and a wonderfully ingenious plot, Michael Lister has squeezed every ounce of terror and thrills out of a dark night in the woods.” Michael Connelly

3rd Blurb for DOUBLE EXPOSURE

“For readers and writers, one good word is worth a thousand pictures. And in his engrossing new novel, Double Exposure, Michael Lister has masterfully chosen wonderful words to paint both a humbling picture of a special Florida environment and a story of intrigue and danger.” Jonathon King, author of Acts of Nature

Like Jazz on Paper

"As an artist, Michael Lister is not afraid to take a risk. And his gamble pays off big for the reader, in Double Exposure, a great stylistic achievement, cleverly imagined, and cleverly realized on the page. It is jazz on paper. With every rapid click of the camera, Double Exposure delivers a fast paced, can’t-put-it-down page-turner. The images framed by Lister’s camera, though, also produce an intimate character portrait, giving the story a satisfying depth." Judge Terry Lewis, author of Conflict of Interest

First Blurb for DOUBLE EXPOSURE

“Michael Lister’s Double Exposure is simply stunning. I raced through it, hardly able to breathe. It’s riveting—a remarkable blend of thriller and literary novel. Total surrender is the only way to read this powerful new book that pulls readers deep into the dangerous beauty of North Florida river swamps in a tale of murder and the struggle to survive. Double Exposure cannot be read—it must be devoured. Lister's accomplishment deserves major recognition”
Carolyn Haines, author of Fever Moon

Will He Survive the Night?

Following his dad's death, Remington James returns to the small North Florida town where he grew up to assume his father's lifeCtaking care of his dying mother and running the local gun and pawn shop.

Picking up a camera again after a long hiatus, Remington returns to his first love, pursuing in earnest his lifelong dream of becoming a wildlife photographer.

One fateful fall evening, as the sun sinks and the darkness expands, Remington ventures deep into the river swamp to try out some new equipment and check his camera traps.

Encountering the kind of wildlife that made him want to be a photographer in the first place, Remington gets some of the best shots of his life, but he's about to happen upon the most dangerous animal of allCa feral, patient, sociopath who wants Remington dead.

While checking his camera traps, scanning the eerie images of overexposed deer and bats and foxes, Remington comes across the most haunting images of his life --- the frame-by-frame capture of a shocking crime.

By exposing the criminal, Remington has exposed himself to danger, even possible extinction. Hunted like an animal, by the predator and his psychotic friends, Remington must do two things: make it through the night and make it to the river --- and the odds of doing either are slim to none.

An ode to the wild wonder of North Florida, Double Exposure is a minimalist marriage of the literary novel and the action adventure story.

Lyrical, literary, and told in poetic photographic impressions, Double Exposure is filled with far more than just exciting adventure and suspense. It's a meditation on life and death and art and meaning you won't soon forget.
