Sparks

by Laura Bickle

After fire consumes the home of elderly Jasper Bernard, Anya is stunned to discover his lack of remains; even the fiercest fires leave some trace of their victims--and she is sure this was no naturally occurring blaze. Soon she's unearthed a connection to a celebrity psychic who preys on Detroit's poor, promising miracles for money. But Hope Solomon wants more--she's collecting spirits, and in a frantic race against time, Anya will face down an evil adversary who threatens her fragile relationship with her lover, her beloved Sparky's freshly hatched newts, and the wantdering souls of the entire city.
