    About this audiobook

    Nothing is as it seems in Cedar Point, Indiana. Three gang members appear to have died of natural causes. Then the medical examiner completes the autopsies and discovers the victims are missing their brains. When something strange rears its ugly head, the police turn to Chase Dagger. Aided by a partner who is a shapeshifter, unique high-tech toys, and a team of unusual cohorts, Dagger has a way of solving the most bizarre crimes. Although the case is intriguing, Dagger has something more important to deal with. It appears BettaTec, a shadow corporation he used to work for, has finally located him and they need his help. Refusing isn’t an option because BettaTec knows about Sara and her shapeshifting abilities. To keep his partner safe, he has no choice but to work with BettaTec again.

      Great imagination. I would've not picked this book off the shelf. Its a mind-blowing story. I've would have never guessed how the brain was vaporizer. Scary thought if that was true in real life. Thank you for a amazing book! Great story! Keep it coming !!!!

      Vaporizer by Lee Driver is an intriguing book. The pacing was good, and it held my interest. There were some references that I'm sure had more meaning, but this is the first book in the series that I've read. Even with that the author gave enough backstory without info dumping that I was able to keep up. There were a few typos here and there, but that is becoming more and more common in publishing these days.

      As a lover of paranormal, and interest in serial killer novels, The Vaporizer is about the best mix I could ask for. I received this book as a giveaway, and was the first book for me to read in the Chase Dagger series. I enjoyed the inclusion of fantasy in a modern type detective mystery. I look forward to seeking out other Chase Dagger novels, as well as other writings by Lee Driver.

      I won this book here on librarything.com in the member giveaways. I started the book and was instantly hooked. The main characters are a detective and a few team members, and a shapeshifter woman who can turn into a hawk or a wolf and/or use their vision and senses while still in human form. I loved the excitement and mystery in the book, and absolutely loved the characters! Awesome job by the author.... Loved It!

      “The Vaporizer” by Lee Driver is a fast-paced detective novel with a paranormal twist. This sixth book in the Chase dagger series is full of mystery as this story unfolds within a backdrop of unknowns. The characters are believable and easy to like as are the villains making this a believable read. Very suspenseful as our lead characters find their way in and out of dangerous situations while discovering and unexpected romance. A good read for any day, looking forward to book seven.
    • 5/5
      Great book and a very easy read! I haven't read any of her other books in this series so it was definitely a bit of a plunge into the pool for me in terms of the storyline/background. However, like the previous reviewer said, you do not need to have read the prior books to understand this at all. In fact, there are often a couple of sentences explaining the history before they bring up something from the past.All in all this book was very well written. I finished it in 2 days. It was very entrancing and sucks you in right away. You can also tell the personalities of the main characters throughout the story even if you only started with this book. The characters are clear, and linked to each other in a very specific way. There are no random characters appearing out of nowhere and disappearing into nowhere like many books nowadays.Besides a few grammar mistakes/typos, this book is definitely a very good book. I would recommend anyone who is into fantasy/mysteries to read this book!

      We’ve got two mysteries rolled up into one with a continuing back story in this latest Chase Dagger book, and this one begins with a bang. Somehow both Chase and Sara wake up in a rather unique situation without having any idea how they got there. So part of the story is spent finding clues to what had happened the night before and why.The other is the death of gang members who are suddenly dead without any signs of why; at least until it’s discovered that their brains are missing and the police need Chase’s help to discover who and how. And no, there aren’t any zombies.For those not already familiar with the series, Chase is a PI with a past, connected to an agency called BettaTec. He’d escaped from them with a great deal of skills and technical knowledge, and is trying to stay under their radar. His partner is Sara, an American Indian who has the ability to shift into a wolf or a hawk. Chase is the only living person who knows this. These mysteries contain plenty of gadgets, action and humor, often from Chase’s very smart parrot, Einstein. There is a nice addition to the back story that will provide more opportunity in the future. The secondary characters are all there, adding their own brands of spice to the story. It was easy to read this in one sitting as I just couldn’t put the book down. You can read this without reading the prior books, there is enough history to get your through it. But you’d lose some of the impact and how important different relationships are. Start with The Good Die Twice.Another mystery series available by this author, under the name S D Tooley, is the Sam Casey series.
