Novella Noir | Smoke Signal | Noir Audio Drama

RURAL NOIRDel Marsh has spent twenty-three years reading fire. She knows what ash remembers, what char reveals, what an origin point looks like when the cause is exactly what it appears to be. With eleven months until retirement, she arrives at a burned-out Oregon sawmill to close a straightforward case — and closes it. Report filed. Job done. Then a single photograph lands on her kitchen table. Now she's back in the ruins, working against her own conclusions, in a building that's mostly gone, in a town that doesn't want answers. And she's starting to understand that the woman who brought her here needed her for reasons she hasn't been told.
