If you enjoy captivating stories with compelling characters, settle into a comfortable chair and immerse yourself in the latest happenings in the fictional county of Oak Grove, California. One night a huge arson fire levels controversial Reverend DeMente's mega-church. Sheriff Sydney Harding assigns her Senior Detective Alan Bluestein to tackle the arson case, but he is stymied because the number of potential suspects is enormous. In the meantime, rebuilding activities at the church site yield an unpleasant surprise--evidence of another crime! Dr. Laura Mancini, a forensic archaeologist at the university, collaborates with Bluestein on the new investigation. In a story filled with the authors' distinctive blend of serious and silly, the couple and criminalist Malique Johnson solve the crimes. Holy Smoke! also answers the question, "do Bluestein and Mancini abandon the pledge to keep their relationship strictly business?"
