"Hippocratic oath meets hypocritical practice in D. P. Lyle's
exciting new book, HOT LIGHTS, COLD STEEL. Dub Walker, med school
dropout and forensic criminologist, follows a trail of discarded
bodies in this engrossing tale of medicine and murder, told in a
witty tongue-in-cheek style that humors as it horrifies. A renowned
physician himself, Lyle is a master of the medical thriller. Your
prescription is simple, and highly enjoyable: Read this book."
--Gayle Lynds, New York Times Bestselling Author "With HOT LIGHTS,
COLD STEEL Lyle has written the ultimate serial killer novel. Think
Silence of the Lambs on steroids with a fiendishly brutal villain
every bit the equal of Hannibal Lecter fashioned in the polished
touch of Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme novels. Accurate to a T and
utterly bone-chilling, this is everything a thriller should be and
more."
--Jon Land, USA Today Bestselling Author "With enough cool guys,
bad guys and good guys for two novels, HOT LIGHTS, COLD STEEL is a
great thrill ride. Lyle keeps you guessing on who to root for and
how a sinister plot is all going to end. A terrific story by a
gifted writer. One of the best thrillers I've read this year."
--Robert Dugoni, New York Times Bestselling Author "A scary
thrill-packed ride coiled tighter than a cobra. A can't put down
read."
--Allen Wyler, Author of "DEAD HEAD" and "DEADLY ERRORS" "Dub
Walker is tough, funny, and smart, the perfect hero for the
nail-biting intensity of HOT LIGHTS, COLD STEEL. If this one
doesn't make your spine tingle, have someone who's breathing check
your pulse."
--Jan Burke Edgar-winning Author of "BONES, THE MESSENGER," and
"DISTURBANCE" "A gritty and grisly tale of serial murder, told in
the edgy style of classic noir but powered with a 21st century
plot. Dr. Doug Lyle delivers a scalpel-sharp thriller."
--PJ Parrish, New York Times Bestselling Author
