Double Exposure

A 2010 Florida Book Award finalist!

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

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 lifethe 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 riverand the odds of doing either are slim to none.

"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, author of The Scarecrow

"A Hitchcockian thriller. A spellbinding page-turner.”
-Booklist

"Lyrical, evocative prose, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthys 'The Road.'”
-Panama City News Herald

"Mr. Lister's eloquent evocation of the beauty of the area and its non-human inhabitants makes clear to the reader what has drawn his protagonist back and easily explains James' return to the profession on which he had turned his back. The threats to the region's ecosystem are made equally vivid. The novel is thought-provoking, while at the same time the author deftly maintains and steadily builds suspense. Mr. Lister's writing is stylistically fresh, frequently alliterative, and distinctive. "Double Exposure" is a wholly original and ultimately haunting work, and it is highly recommended."
-Gloria Feit
