Shakti Morgan, an inner-city arson investigator from Detroit, is a fish out of water in Portland, Oregon’s granola-and-compost culture. When a beloved new age book store burns to the ground and kills its owner, the local fire marshal gambles on her reputation and teams her up with an athletic police detective who is immediately attracted to the 6’4” adrenaline junkie from Motown. Together, they sift through ashes and motives to find the surprising killer, exploring a tapestry of characters as diverse as Portland itself. $0.99 on Kindle.
