Story Sale: Up in Smoke

What's it about? Glad you asked. Up in Smoke is a murder mystery featuring everybody's (?) favorite future-noir detective, Charlie Madison. It takes place in the earlier years prior to Girl of Great Price, closer to the time frame of Death Duel and Doppelgänger’s Curse, before Charlie learned about the gifted ones. And it involves a bizarre case of spontaneous human combustion. Hence the title, right?
No blurb yet, but here's the tagline:
A life ended in flames. A detective sorting through the ashes.
Stay tuned for a release date...
