Columbia Smoke — Alex McGilvery

With only a few weeks before Molly returns home, an apartment fire leaves Blue living in a motel. It isn't the worst place he's lived. With him are a friendly dog and her unfriendly owner, a woman with a nasty temper. The air is filled with smoke from wildfires. It becomes clear the fire in the apartment was no accident, now people are dying. Like it or not, Blue is in the middle of things.
