Dressed in Smoke. Detective Harlan Ulrich, #2

A FACE FROM THE PASTOnce upon a time, Jonathan West lost his best friend, Ansel, under horrific circumstances. Or, at least, he thought he had. On a warm summer night, he finds himself reunited with the dead man-and hunted by a hideous entity that occupies Ansel's body. In his hour of need, Jonathan could have gone to the authorities, or hired an esteemed security service. Instead, he winds up soliciting help from none other than Tanglewood's most curmudgeonly private eye.
Harlan Ulrich is on the case, for better or worse. The over-caffeinated eccentric will have to employ every tactic in his unorthodox playbook if he's to save the client-and himself. DRESSED IN SMOKE is a novel of supernatural suspense, the second in the Detective Harlan Ulrich series.
