Detective Oksana 'Torch' Rael is sick of the nightmares that plague her mind at night; even therapy doesn't quite help fend off the monsters that linger in her head. Beleaguered by the thought of dirty cops in her old department back in her home town of Montpelier, Vermont, she sought out a new life in Detroit, Michigan. But it isn't long until Torch realizes she knows too much about a case that involves the newest member of the underground, Alexis Campbell. What begins as innocent prying evolves into something much bigger and dangerous. It's either fight or flight for Torch, as she accidentally uncovers a web of lies that is too big for her to handle. Torch is the first book in the Blunderbuss Anthologies, a subset of the Blunderbuss Chronicles.
