Paul Slatter launches the Vancouver Series with this fast-paced blend of murder, mystery, mayhem, and even higher fashion.

A woman is left paralyzed, her boyfriend burned alive as his body floats out on a creek, and Detective Daltrey is determined to find out why. But when the case takes a shocking twist, it lands squarely in the lap of Charles "Chuck" Chendrill, a legendary private investigator turned eccentric has-been.

Plunging deep into Vancouver's gritty underworld, Chendrill uncovers a volatile mix of psychotic Russians, fame-hungry supermodels, and dangerous secrets in his hunt for the killer.

Quickly enough, he encounters Illya, a fire-obsessed maniac on a desperate search for his sister, and Dan, a socially awkward electronics whiz suddenly thrust into the media supermodel frenzy.

From twisted scandals to explosive confrontations, Burn is a darkly comic, high-stakes mystery where nothing is quite what it seems.

Perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, Burn is wickedly entertaining, laugh-out-loud funny, and impossible to put down.
